query regarding fs migration

For SHAREDUP to work, the target directory must exist (here fs013_GGW\GrpData)

You can also use the /FO and /FI options of SHAREDUP in order to remap the source and target directories to be shared (have a look at the Using EMC Utilities documentation)

hi claude

thanks for your response.I have checked the emc utilities document.they explain abt migrating from server to celerra.

here the direction of migration is from ns120 to physical server.

i tried /FO option but it is looking for drive letter on ns120

can i map the share as drive on windows and try this command?

sharedup

claude,

thanks again for your response.i have used this command to create output file

sharedup \\cnfs-sh013 \\cnfs-sh006 C: /FO:sharetar.txt

here is the file content

#

# A share info is stored in one line and must begin with the character ':'.

# Note: the target_pathname field includes the drive letter.

@Drive:C

:GrpData;GrpData;C:\fs013_GGW\GrpData;

:CNWABJ$;CNWABJ$;C:\fs013_GGW\Home\CNWABJ;

:CNJIHA$;CNJIHA$;C:\fs013_GGW\Home\CNJIHA;

:CNLila$;CNLila$;C:\fs013_GGW\Home\CNLila;

:cnluje$;cnluje$;C:\fs013_GGW\Home\cnluje;

:cnjinm$;cnjinm$;C:\fs013_GGW\Home\cnjinm;

:CNLINU$;CNLINU$;C:\fs013_GGW\Home\CNLINU;

I can import this to D drive from celerra if i change the drive C to D in the output file and use it as input

sharedup \\cnfs-sh013 \\cnfs-sh006 C: /FI:sharetar.txt

I need to have directory fs013_ggw under D: drive right?

thanks for your help.

Yes, you need that directory on the destination or change the pathname in the file

For example from C:\fs013_GGW\Home\CNJIHA to D:\Home\CNJIHA should work as long as D:\Home\CNJIHA already exists on the destination

Claude

Hi Claude,

Still i have issue. I am testing with one share in input file

D:\home\CNWABJ >> this folder already exist in d drive

my file content below

If i execute the command i get below error

Any idea?

I see 2 problems:

Target path still references fs013_GGW (does this directory exists on D drive)?

Also, Sharedup now complains that the file is not in Unicode format, did you used Wordpad to edit it?

Claude

HI Claude,

Thanks for your update.you are right..I have edited the file with wordpad.

i have modified the path and tried ..

it worked now..
