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.

Or if you don't have a solaris box at all, there is a java version of ndmpcopy available at ftp://ftp.ndmp.org/pub/version.3/contrib/jndmpcopy.tar.gz I used that perviously to move 12gb of data between filers and it worked without a problem.
