Migration aggregate and volumes to other NetApp

Bronkz — Tue, 28 Jun 2016 20:04:21 GMT

Hello,

I have a NetApp with 7-mode 8.2.1 and I need to migrate aggregate on vfiler and all volumes with this aggregate to other NetApp. Is it possible to copy all non-distruptive? If no, Could You please write other solution step by step ?

Hi,

May i know if you are going to migrate with HA-Pair or across to other controller in a different HA-pair ?

If this is within a HA-Pair then follow the below procedure

Now let us assume i have two controller filerA & filerB and i am moving aggregate from A to B

Change options (both controllers):

options disk.auto_assign off

options autosupport.enable off

options httpd.enable.access on (for disk refresh)

Verify Volume Status:

vol status –s

Verify Disks

filer> disk show <disks>

Offline Volumes

filera> vol offline

Offline Aggregates

filera> aggr offline <aggr>

Note current disk ownership/IDs:

Removing ownership of the disks:

filera> priv set advanced

filera*> disk remove_ownership <disks>

Verify Disk Ownership (not owned):

filera> disk show –n

filera> options disk.auto_assign on

On the controller filerB

Change disk auto assign:

options disk.auto_assign off

Verify Disk Ownership (not owned):

filerb> disk show –n

Take ownership of the disks

priv set advanced

filerb*> disk assign 0b.22 0b.23 –s <filerb serial#>

Verify Disk Ownership (all visible disks)

filerb> disk show –v

Verify disks correctly assigned

filerb> aggr status –r / aggr status –s

Online Aggregate

filerb> aggr online <disks>

Change options back:

options disk.auto_assign on

options autosupport.enable on

options httpd.enable.access off (for disk refresh)

Thanks,

Nayab

Hello,

NetApps are out of HA-pair.

So i should understand that you have same or more space as same as the source controller at the destination controller ??

In that case i would suggest a copy method or best option to go with snapmirror

1) Create as same agrregate structure in the destination as same as source ( Including volumes )

2) Create a snapmirror relation and initiate the transfer........

Thanks

Yes, I have a free space on destination. Ok I will try to use Snapmirror. Thank you for understanding.
