Use this section if you want to move a vFiler (that is, the data and the vFiler configuration) from one NetApp appliance to another, for example from a filer that is overloaded to one that has spare capacity, or from an old filer to a new one. This is sometimes called "migrating" a vFiler.
The procedures assume that you want to destroy the original vFiler once the new vFiler is up and running. If you want to leave the original vFiler intact and create a backup copy of it for disaster-recovery purposes, use the procedures listed under How to create and activate a disaster-recovery vFiler instead.
To move a vFiler, follow this process.
| 1 | Qualify and prepare the destination filer. Perform the Storage checks and actions and the Network checks and actions. |
| 2 |
See Migrating the vFiler. |
