You use the vfiler migrate -m nocopy command to carry out SnapMover vFiler unit migration.
This command does the following:
- Ensures that no vFiler unit with the same name exists on the destination node.
- Ensures that the SnapMover license is installed on both the source and destination active/active nodes.
- Ensures that the licenses and Data ONTAP versions are the same on both the source and destination active/active nodes.
- Saves the IP configuration and binding information that you supplied when you created the vFiler unit.
- Saves the quota information from the source vFiler unit's /etc/quotas file.
- Stops the source vFiler unit.
- Destroys the source vFiler unit.
- Rewrites the disk ownership information so that the ownership of the vFiler unit volumes passes from the source active/active node to the destination active/active node.
- Re-creates the vFiler unit on the destination active/active node.
