Migrating data

Prerequisites

This topic describes the procedures for migrating existing data to be managed by the SAN File System.

Context

Data is migrated using the migratedata command from the client machine.

Attention: When you migrate journaled file system (JFS) files to SAN File System, you will lose access control lists (ACLs) from those files.

Steps

  1. Estimate the time that it will take to migrate the data.
  2. Import (or migrate) the data to the SAN File System.
  3. Verify the integrity of the migrated data.
