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. For more information about the migratedata command, see migratedata.

Attention: When you migrate UNIX® file system files to SAN File System, you lose any Posix-based access control lists (ACLs) from those files.

Steps

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