A couple of choices.
Depending on your release of ONTAP, you could just cross-connect them with GigE and run a vol copy. This is a low-level copy of a volume and is quite fast. It does not care about quantity or size of files since it is working at a block level.
You need to create the same volume type to do a vol copy. I.E. flex to flex or trad to trad. You cannot copy flex to trad or trad to flex.
Should your release not support your 9TB volume, then you will be stuck with either: NDMPcopy or a copy program (like cp or rsync) from a UNIX host. Don't bother with Windows, too slow.
