Hi
I have a 11TB CIFS based NTFS volume with 4 qtree's on 7.3.7 controller, that I need to migrate to another controller, the problem I am having is that
if I use QSM-
Invoke-NaSnapmirrorInitialize -Source 172.16.1.1:/vol/Groups/- -Destination irv-gdc-san1a:/vol/Groups/qtree
I only get the base contents of the volume, and not the other qtree's that are co-mingled with folders in the base of the cifs share local path (/vol/Groups)
if I use VSM-
The volume would be replicated with all data / qtree's. but would remain 32bit.
Part of the issue I have is that this is over 10TB / 10 million files. I already have the QSM relationship for the base contents of the volume. If I setup additional QSM's, they would be adjacent to the base contents, and a single cifs share could not access. As part of the cutover plan, I am going to be aliasing the IP address since we have both Windows and Unix clients accessing this data from god knows where. Anyone have any suggestions? I am trying to make this a single cutover event, where the outage is less than an hour, and from previous expireance, if I move the contents from the base QSM (irv-gdc-san1a:/vol/Groups/qtree --> irv-gdc-san1a:/vol/Groups) it could take hours, and I wouldn't be able to maintain permissions unless I used robocopy with the /MIR and /SEC switches.
Any suggestions? TIA!
