List,
We have a FAS270 recently upgraded to 7.0.5. We would like migrate from traditional volumes to flexible volumes and keep the existing snapshots. I searched the NOW site and could not find much, has anyone done this? Will we be able to retain the existing snapshots?? We have enough drives to have the aggregate and traditional volumes working simultaneously on the same filer.
Cheers.
Tom.
There is no way to do this easily. ndmpcopy is a good way to start if you don't have a lot of files. qtree snapmirror is a good way to go as well. But there's no way to just move the snapshot from point a to point b. There's also 3rd party products like neopath, that can move data independent of your underlying filesystem technology.
