Migrate quote from celerra to VNX5300
Hi,
i have to migrate quotas from a old celerra with 5.5 dart version to a new vnx.
If i have understand right, there isn't possible to create a vdm on 5.5 version (and we can't update the revision) so i don't know how migrate the quotas (it is my first experience with nas migration).
Have you got any suggestion?
Thanks
Marco

You most likely have so see how you can list/export the quotas with nas_quotas and apply them on the target
A VDM wouldn’t make a difference – quota’s are stored inside the file system.
If your code is new enough that you can just replicate the fs then they get copied automatically.
If not or if src and dst are different size you have to re-create
For user quota’s you could probably also Windows tools – but I haven’t tried that

Hi Rainer,
thanks for your support...
where i can find information about compatibility from the celerra code and vnx code to do file system migration?
If it is possible...i think that during the migration the production is on line. When the migration will finish, is it possible to do an incremental copy?
Thanks

I am pretty sure that 5.5 is too old for that – info should be in the support matrix or the release notes

I did manually created the quotas, when the plan was to migrate a windows file share server to NAS. All I had to create the path first, then configured the quota.
Otherwise the replication is the best candidate on the storage level. Otherwise, if they can find any windows registry entry on the CIFS server (I am not sure whether its available), then the quota registry can be copied to the new environment.
