Celerra replicator question

Hello,

We are planning to remote migrate CIFS + NFS shares from Celerra to Celerra. I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions. We have celerra replicator, we do not have any VDMs configured yet. All CIFS server are mounted on physical Data Mover. We have two data movers, one active and one standby:

1) Does Celerra replicate CIFS Shares, Permissions, local groups, global groups along with the filesystems?.

2) Is it possible to replicate a CIFS server from Celerra to Celerra without using VDM?

3) VDM doc tells me "A default CIFS server and CIFS servers within a VDM cannot coexist on the same Data Mover.". If i need to move  CIFs servers one at a time, how is that possible?, because according to above statement, i must convert all CIFS servers to VDM at once because CIFS server and VDM cannot co-exist at a time on the same Data Mover.

4) We need to migrate the CIFS servers and NFS exports along with the permissions to another Celerra. Please suggest migration strategy/tools. How to move data, shares, and permissions.

Thanks a ton

why would you do that if you have Celerra Replicator that can do it much more efficiently ?

if you can't get there your PowerLink account needs to be modified. If that's the case email powerlink@emc.com to assist you with that. They will want to check to make sure you have an active software/hardware contract with EMC.
