how to migrate the fs mountpoint from one DM to another
NS960 current:
server_2 fs1 fs2 in cifsserver1 ; fs3 fs4 in cifsserver2
server_3 standby
NS960 future:
server_2 fs1 fs2 in cifsserver1
server_3 standby
server_4 fs3 fs4 in cifsserver2
server_5
customer plan to add two more datamover (server_4 and server_5) to NS960 and migrate some filesystems' mountpoint from server_2 to server_4.
below is my procedure after the new DM hardware is OK:
1. set standby and NTP
server_standby server_4 -create mover=server_3 ;server_standby server_5 -create mover=server_3
2. Enable I18N on new DM
3. use server_param to change the parameter on new DM, the same with server_2
4. server_export server_2 -unexport -name fs3 -option netbios=cifsserver2
5 server_umount server_2 -p fs3 /fs3
6. server_setup server_4 -Protocol cifs -option start
7. server_mountpoint server_4 -create fs3 /fs3 ; server_mount server_4 fs3 /fs3
8. delete the cifsserver2 and IP in server_2 ,create the same IP and cifsserver2 in server_4 and joint to domain
9. server_export server_4 -Protocol cifs -name fs3 -option netbios=cifsserver2 /fs3/fs3
Any other special procedure need to notice ? Many thanks!

Dont forget other DM level config that can be used by CIFS – like DNS, CEPA, …
Instead of deleting and re-creating the CIFS servers it might be easier to move them to a VDM and then just move the VDM
Otherwise you need to take into account local users/groups, registry, ….
