If you want to do the data migration yourself, it will depend on the type of data you want migrated.  Isilon will generally recommend the following: From a Windows server: robocopy or EMCopy From a NetApp filer: isi_vol_copy From a UNIX server: rsync  If you have another NAS device, the tool may be a combination of the above and depends on the type of data access you have enabled.  If you have mixed mode (UNIX permission bits and Windows ACLs) we sometimes use rsync to get the bulk data over and then robocopy/EMCopy to transfer over the ACLs.  isi_vol_copy and rsync can be run directly on the Isilon cluster itself increasing speed.
Hello all,  I need a way to migrate a few File servers (Windows, Unix, Linux) to an Isilon Cluster. Is there a tool specific for Isilon?  One option for the windows part is EMCopy and i know that there are other tools/commands on unix that can do the job.  I wonder if there is a tool tha migrate all the File system to Isilon as simple as possible.  Thanks in advance.  Kind Regards.
