Ndmpcopy is in Data ontap? Excellent! It is a very easy to use tool, and produces a very reliable copy. one point though - and I am sure you know this - the byte count for your newly created directories will be different from your originals. Not a great deal off, but if you df them you will some differences (well we did)

Hello Frank, If any of your filers is running Ontap 6.2 or above, then you should be able to use the 'ndmpcopy' command on the filer itself to make the copy. Ndmpcopy was designed specifically for such migrations, so it pretty much will work.

The other ndmpcopy from ndmp.org that Simon mentioned will also work, but you will require to install it on a solaris client machine within your network.

Hope that helps, Amol.
