Hi,
when i get this right you are moving data within on volume.
e.g.
/vol/project/data1/data2copy
to
/vol/project/data2/destination
When this is on the same filer a move should proceed within seconds, as you are used to have it on a local hard disk. You can just use "Drag-and-Drop" when connected to the share with sufficient rights.
Just give it a try with a testvol.
Regards
Jochen

Hello *,
we have a NetApp working as a CIFS-Filer. A collegue wants to move about 6 TB of data in the directory scruture one level up within the same volume.
Using the filer with a LUN as a block device would work like this. A normal windows Server also can move data in between the same drive letter without copying it - just in a scond.
But the NetApp has no solution I know so far to make a move when it works itwself as a CIFS filer. And even worse it does not only cost disk space because it copies and deletes afterwards, but also all the 6 TB data move over the LAN.
Is there something like a move in advanced mode or any undocumented ways? Or to use NDMP copy in such a way?
thanks a lot in advance

As long as the data you are moving is within the same mapped drive/UNC path (ie, you don't have two different mapped drives) this should work very quickly. I believe that the client when using two separate drives (ie, D: vs E:) changes this, but it's been a long time since I've had to look into it.
There was an issue on older versions of ONTAP with respect to moving from one location to a QTREE, but this was fixed _long_ ago. As long as you're running 7.1 or newer, that shouldn't cause any problems either.

I will try this one with my simulator, thanks Jochen! Kind regards Knut

I agree with Jochen, this should be as simple as "drag and drop".We have done this before, where we had to move CIFS data (~500GB) from a non-qtree folder to a qtree within the same volume without any impact on snapshot space or time.
