Migrate VDM same VNX (different pool)

Hi there,

I've a question about migrating VDM (NFS and CIFS) into same VNX but different storage pool for file.

I'm restructuring the whole array and I have to empty one pool for file, after migrating all filesystem from storage pool to another I've notice storage pool is in use by 2x VDM (256mb each) they are VDM_CIFS and VDM_NFS.

All filesystem are placed in other Storage Pool for File but aiming to original stoage pool.

I want to migrate 2x VDM filesystem to another storage pool ...

is there a procedure to perform this action without downtime (unmount / mount ) all filesystem ??

How could I migrate the VDM (virtual datamover) ??

Thanks in advance.

    Hi there Reiner,

    I can't use nas_migrate, nas migrate don't allow  migrate with loopback interface.

    [nasadmin@VNX5600 ~]$ nas_migrate  -plan -create  plan_vdmtest -source VDM_CIFS_TEST -destination -pool "6_POOL_NAS_6+2_4+1"  -interconnect loopback -take_over_ips

    Info 26843676673: In Progress: Operation is still running. Check task id 4933880 on the Background Tasks screen for results.

    Validate plan name ... succeeded

    Create plan ...

    Validate destination system licenses ... succeeded

    Validate interconnect ... failed

    Create plan ... failed

    Error 13431930973: The DART interconnect specified is loopback. Loopback migration is not supported.


    Any idea??
