Check the new CIFS shares and make sure the users are able to read/write on the share.
Migration with emcopy update#
Update the DNS record too if necessary.Ĩ.
This procedure entails unjoining the source and target CIFS server from Active Directory (AD), renaming NetBIOS name on the new CIFS server, joining back the CIFS server, etc. Follow EMC156835 to rename the CIFS server so that the new CIFS server will have the name of its old CIFS server. Disconnect users from the source CIFS server and make the file system read-only.Ĭ.
You may also spot check the ACLs and/or run tools to compare files and directories between the source and target.Ī. Analyze emcopy log to make sure files are being copied successfully. This will temendously cut the time needed to update the files on the final day of migration.Ħ. Create an emcopy script to sync the files every night. Run emcopy.exe to perform baseline copy.ĥ. Use lgdup.exe utility to copy local groups from the source CIFS server to the target CIFS server.Ĥ. You can also use the sharedup.exe utility.ģ. Copy the share permissions (or ACL) and the NTFS root folder ACLs from the old share to new share. When you migrate data from one data lake to another including Amazon S3, Azure Blob, Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, and Azure Files, you can choose to preserve the file metadata along with data. Create the necessary VDM (Virtual Data Mover), File System, and CIFS server on the target VNX machine.Ģ. In general, I used the following procedure:ġ. There are several steps you need to follow for a successful migration.
Migration with emcopy free#
EMC provides these free tools including emcopy, lgdup, and sharedup to accomplish the migration task.
Migration with emcopy windows#
One method I used recently to migrate Windows files (CIFS) was to copy files between the source CIFS server to the target VNX server using the emcopy migration suite of tools from EMC. To migrate UNIX/Linux files, use the UNIX rsync utility to copy files between source and target VNX.There are several methodologies in migrating files to EMC VNX.
Atempo solutions can move over 250 TB per day per installed Data Mover. A cross-vendor NAS migration can be a headache that can last for weeks, even if the end results are acceptable. Disconnect users from the source CIFS server and make the file system read-only.Ĭ. When migrating across domains or to different file systems some tools run into difficulties (EMcopy, Robocopy). Knowledgeable in troubleshooting day to day SAN/Storage related issues. In virtualized environments leveraging VMware ESXi and vCenter Server, the following solutions are available: EMC RecoverPoint for VMs VMware Storage vMotion. Good experience in Storage Management in UNIX, ESX & Windows operating systems platforms. Run emcopy.exe to perform baseline copy.ĥ. Hands on experience on storage array tech-refresh and data migration using (SRDF and Sancopy) and host based/non-array based (Unix native tools, Open Migrator & emcopy). Copy the share permissions (or ACL) and the NTFS root folder ACLs from the old share to new share. There are several methodologies in migrating files to EMC VNX.
