DFS Pointers on NUDF

[smithj]

Hi

Can you use DFS pointers on Symantec DLO 7.5 NUDFs?

Thanks

I am a bit unsure on this. Let me check on it.

And any specific reason for using DFS links and with which directories would you be linking the NUDF directories ?

Thanks VJware

The reason we're looking into using this is because it is easier to migrate the storage in the backend to a different location, without effecting any pointers that are used on the frontend

Let me know what you find out and I really appreciate the help

Thanks

Just a quick query. Are you using DeDupe as well ? If yes, it will be difficult to create the links between the DeDupe chunks, old NUDF to the new NUDF.

Hi VJWare

We are not using Dedupe on DLO

Thanks

Cool. I'll check with the appropriate folks and get back to you on this.

Hiya Jimmy,

Just received a confirmation from the Dev folks & DFS pointers aren't supported. Best to migrate the storage as mentioned in earlier posts.
