VNX to Unity migration issue
I am planning to migrate a VDM from VNX to Unity using native file import for SMB. Due to size of the VDM, and it is a production VDM we plan to start migration import session on middle of the week and do the cutover during the weekend. Will there be any issue if I do migration this way. How many import session could I run at one time. I have another VDM that has NFS and CIFs in that VDM, I am planning to remove NFS permanently from VDM to perform native file import. I am using this syntax "server_export vdm1 -unexport -perm -P nfs -name nfs1 /nfs1 " is there anything else that needs to be done. Any help would greatly appreciated. Thank you.

File imports from VNX to Unity are simple normally but they can be quite complex in the planning.
You need to read the import documentation carefully to make sure you don't encounter any issues.
Example here:

There are tons of KBs as well.
