I can't help but ask, why on earth would you want to go away from a toaster over to a Celerra?
I would never use a Celerra for anything other than a boat anchor[1]. I had one. It was horrible, absolutely horrible. It was down 1/3 of the time and that isn't an exageration. I had to endure 16+ hour fsck's, almost half a dozen datamover panics a day. I replaced it with F840's and I've never had an issue since.
I'll stop ranting now otherwise I'll start foaming at the mouth again...

I don't work for NetApp. But first ask what features would you GAIN
by
migrating to a Calera. You loose so many features, the first being the simplicity to manage them.
We just moved all of our NAS storage off Celeras to NetApps because
of
the so many issues. Email me directly incase you need more info. -G

I have been asked what the problems would be migrating from NetApp filers to EMC Celerra. Has anyone had any experience of doing
this.
What features would I loose?
