Thin Celerra Replicator Target LUNs?
We have many old source filesystems with ALOT of free space that need to be replicated to a new Celerra.
It would be nice to use Celerra Replicator to replicate to target filesystems that were the same size but thin provisioned.
I get an error that the filesystem is not the same size when I try to setup the replication session.
If I let Celerra Replicator create the filesystem it creates a thck LUN : (
Any ideas or workarounds would be helpful!

Not possible with Replicator – it works on a block-level so the dst fs will always be the same size
You need to use file-level tools like emcopy, rsync, ndmpcopy, …
