WFA 7toC LUN Migrate Job Update + Cutover - Rapid Error: lun create from file failed

jhawkroche — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 20:10:56 GMT

We are trying to WFA to complete 7 to C migration for SAN volumes. We are using WFA 3.0 with OCUM 6.3 and get the following error: Command failed for Workflow '7toC LUN Migrate Job Update + Cutover - Rapid ' with error : lun create from file failed. We verified the LUN is online and the host is turned off.

Has anyone else seen this issue before?

Well i had the same issue and i was running out of time so i have migrated them using 7-Mode transition tool ( 7MTT ) to migrate from 7-Mode to Cluster mode

Documentation :- https://mysupport.netapp.com/documentation/productlibrary/index.html?productID=61584#noplatform

7MTT Download :- https://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/software/?product=7-Mode+Transition+Tool&platform=Windows

Thanks,
