Netapp to Celerra Migration

Hi we need to migrate data from Netapp to Celerra.Tried doing it on file level but failed because of previleges and permissions.

Can we migrate on disk level to avoid this problem of ACL on file systems,If yes how?We dont have admin acces on source file systems

and can we still use EMCACL for editing the ACL and get data moving without any issue?

    you will need to rely on host based tools or backup tools, disk based will not work as Netapp and Celerra have completely different file systems. Ask for "backup operator" rights on source and if you are using robocopy add /B switch.

    As dynamox said – since the file systems are totally different you cannot use block copy tools and HAVE to use file based tools

    Emcopy with proper Backup Operator privileges will copy any file no matter what ACL on it

    Emcopy is very similar to robocopy and available on your Tools&Apps CD and as a download from Powerlink

    It uses Backup Operator Privilege (you have to grant this for your copy account on both src and dst) so that it can read/write files that are otherwise denied

    Details are in the Using EMC Utilities for the CIFS Environment manual available from Powerlink

    The emcacl program will display ACLs for files or directories you have access to (it will not grant you any privilege)

    You should ask the AD domain administrator to create an account for the migration

    Without backup/restore user rights there is no way in Windows to have access to files you do not have access to because of permissions

    NO – emcacl wont work for this

    The way you typically get backup operator privileges is by being in the local Administrators or Account Operators group. Normally Domain Administrators are included there by default. If you don’t use a copy account that is a domain admin you need to ask your Windows folks to add it to the local groups on src/dst
