Guest nobody Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 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?
Guest Mathieu CHATEAU Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Re: moving data from local disks to san 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 -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com "nobody" <nobody@nobody.com> wrote in message news:uYdS3BGAIHA.484@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... >I have a filserver that people are doing mapped drives to and my docs >redirection.

Guest nobody Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 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?

Guest nobody Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Re: moving data from local disks to san what about the shares after I robocopy them over? I will have two shares of the same names?

Guest Mathieu CHATEAU Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 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 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=D00E3EAE-930A-42B0-B595-66F462F5D87B&displaylang=en -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com "nobody" <nobody@nobody.com> wrote in message news:%23XDjcfJAIHA.1168@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > what about the shares after I robocopy them over?
