Performing vFiler unit migration on volumes

You can balance the load processing on an active/active configured system by using SnapMover to migrate a vFiler unit from one active node to the other.

Steps

1. On the destination active/active configuration, enter the following command: vfiler migrate -m nocopy vfilername@source_cl_partner

   vfilername is the name of the vFiler unit that you are migrating.

   source_cl_partner is the active/active configuration from which you are moving the vFiler unit.

   For detailed information, see the na_vfiler(1) man page.

2. Answer the prompts, including the following information:
   • A valid administrative login ID and password
   • The IP address and binding information for the destination vFiler unit

   The vFiler unit is migrated from the source active/active configuration to the destination active/active configuration.

3. Verify that the vFiler unit was moved by entering the following command on the destination active/active configuration: vfiler status -r vfilername
