Dear NetApp Gurus,

Would you be kind enough to share your expertise on this 3 way vFiler migration:

1. Snap mirror vFiler volume from filer A to filer C

2. Vfiler migration from filer A to filer B

3. Resync between filer B & filer C

If you got a better/best practice, would you please share it with me?

Thanks in advance & looking forward to hear from you.

Cheers

Henry

vfiler migration and data motion move an entire vfiler and handle the mirrors in the vfiler process.  So if 50 volumes in the vfiler, all is handled by data motion in the NMC or the vfiler migrate command.  The requirements are in the data motion guide with limits on volume counts (depends on controller type).  The target fas needs to have the exact same volume names and same ipspaces for the vfiler then it migrates.
