NetApp To Isilon Migrations

Isilon provides a built-in NDMP NetApp to Isilon utility called isi_vol_copy.  This enables admins to directly migrate a NetApp volume/qtree to an Isilon Folder.  

1. Confirm NDMP is configured and Running on the data source NetApp Filer.

      a.       Check NDMP current status

             ndmpd status

      b.      Enable NDMP

            ndmpd on

2. Confirm NDMP is configured on the Isilon Cluster. 

isi services ndmpd status

3. Run the isi_vol_copy command to copy a Volume or Qtree to a target folder on the Isilon:

Usage:  isi_vol_copy <src_filer>:<src_dir> <dest_dir>

                 [-sa user: | user:password]

                 [-sport ndmp_src_port]

                 [-full | -incr]

                 [-dhost dest_ip_addr]

                 [-h]

e.g. # isi_vol_copy Filer1:/vol/source_vol /ifs/migration -sa root:xxxxxx –full
