Should "yourserver" be the name of the filer? Doesn't seem to work.
Downloaded the OnCommand Core app installer from the NOW page but it wants a license key on install, even for the "express" option. Is this a licensed feature?

Randy,
have you tried using the Netapp Management Console (NMC) for this?
I've done a few dozen vFiler migrations using the NMC vFiler migration "wizard" -
it asks you for all the parameters you would otherwise need on the command line and is robust and reliable in my experience.
You get it from the "OnCommand Core Package", via:
https://iyourserver/clients/nmconsole-setup-3-1-win32.exe
I only had resort to a command line vfiler migrate for an offline migration for a special vfiler once.
I'm currently planning 32, 64 bit upgrades with data motion,
Good luck,
Fletcher.

Hello All,
Running 8.1GA on a 3240 and trying to move two vfilers from one aggregate to another (both are 64 bit aggrs). Ultimately I just need to move the root and data volumes for these vfilers.
Not finding a wealth of examples on the "vol move" command, not surprising as this is a pretty new feature. http://www.netapp.com/us/communities/tech-ontap/tot-data-motion-1102.html
NetApp's blurb says this can be done without interruption, but also talks a lot about when to do the "cutover." They say the cutover can be triggered manually or automatically. But I can't make the "vol move" command do anything but return a usage blurb unless I include a "start" switch.
Also, their website claims this can be done nondisruptively. But "vol move start" keeps failing because I have CIFS and/or NFS running. In fact, if I turn them both off it still complains that I have NFS exports configured and that I need to remove them first.
Anyone have experience moving volumes from one aggr to another, hopefully live?
