SAN copy is only for block migrations you cannot use it here since VNX and Windows have different file systems.Even if you were to able to migrate the LUN containing the VNX NAS file system to a Window system it wouldnt be able to understand it So you need to use regular file based copy tools and work over CIFS There are lots of tools like robocopy, emcopy, Dobimigrate, SecureCopy, ....
Hi all, I am a storage admin on a multinational company, recently my company decides to migrate all the cifs shares with all security and share permissions from VNX5400 to Virtual Windows Server using LUN's from storage in order to decommission the filler and using Windows to run the file server role. My first question is which is the best and fastest way to do that? And the second question is , if there is a way to bypass the security permissions of each one folder and copy the files to the new server without problems. The solution is the emcopy (cifs emc tools) and robocopy? Thank you in advance
VNX5400 CIFS migrate to Windows File Server
