You can still do the transfer. It just has to revert the target (F760) to the 5.3 filesystems first. After that revert is complete, you can do the vol copy.

My understanding is, in that case, I would have to revert ALL of the 760's volumes before the migration from the 230. Although I'm in a test environment at this point--well, half of a test environment--at the time of the actual migration the 760 will have several hundred gigabytes' worth of other volumes already online.

Is there a way to perform the vol copy without affecting the target filer's other volumes?

I wasn't under the impression it has to revert ALL of the volumes, only the one you were copying. The volume upgrades are done independant of each other, so I wouldn't expect the downgrade to have to be done everywhere.

Haven't tried in the lab, but I'd be REALLY surprised if it wasn't just the affected volume.
