moving data from local disks to san

[Guest nobody]

I have a filserver that people are doing mapped drives to and my docs

redirection. I need to move all this data to a san

 

what is the procedure to do this without downtime?

Hello,

 

1/ you may prepare the job with robocopy, to sync the current one with the

san,keeping security of course.

 

Without any downtime ? That's a strict requirement compared to a simple

actual setup (one server).

 

Accept a very small downtime by share. A short one if the content is synced

(few minutes).Remove the share and map it again

Re: moving data from local disks to san

 

So basically I currently have a D drive and a E drive where all the shares

and folders are.

 

When i connect the san, it will have a F and G drive.

 

I need to have everything moved to F and G

 

will robocopy do it?

what about the shares after I robocopy them over? I will have two shares of

the same names?

Re: moving data from local disks to san

 

Hello,

 

You will have to unshare the current one and share the new folder

To be safe:

use robocopy to sync content, keeping security rights

communicate to users

unshare the current one

use robocopy to sync content, keeping security rights

share the new folder

 

That's the basic step for each share.

 

You may also use Microsoft File Server Migration Toolkit 1.0
