Want to migrate 7-mode volumes to Cluster-mode piecemeal

Four_Aces — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 12:05:57 GMT

Hi,

I would like to setup a few copy-based transitions in 7MTT 3.3 to copy batches of volumes (10 at a time), but I do not want at any time to transition the 7mode HA-Pair itself, ie I want the new SVMs I've created in CDOT to maintain their existing identity.

Where in the MTT console can I check to ensure that I am not transitioning the 7mode filer's identity itself, and that I am only using the tool as a glorified snapmirror?

Thanks,

The whole point of using 7MTT is to automate identity migration. If you just want to transition volume content - why not simply use snap mirror directly?

I like the benefits of all the protocol and compatibility checks between 7mode and cluster-mode that are done as a part of using 7MTT.
