Migrating NTFS VaultStore into single CIFS share ?

[John_Santana]

Hi People,

My current EV 9 got 17 closed Vault Store partition each 512 GB TB in size. the last open partition is 1 TB, now I'd like to know what's the recommended EV CIFS share migration best practice steps and sizing ?

The CIFS share is hosted on EMC Data Domain

1. Do I need to seperate all closed VaultStore in one CIFS share while the open is in separate CIFS share ? or can it be combined together which give 10 TB+ CIFS share ?

2. When copying the VaultStore content from NTFS share into CIFS share, what's the recommended way ?

Thanks.

Hi John,

1. you can change the partition path but i would recommend keeping the folder structure so each partition is kept in a seperate folder

2. unless you have a device-level method, i'm pretty sure robocopy is the tool most fall back on for file copy from disparate storage devices

ok, so in this case what is the necessary steps that I need to do or update ?
