CDMS Overview CIFS specific The following scope and boundaries are unique to CIFS data migrations: ◆ Only Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, and Windows NT 4.0 servers are supported as CIFS source file servers. Note: Windows XP systems are not supported as source file servers. ◆ Usermapper must be configured for all domains so the VNX can resolve all ACLs associated with users and groups during data migration from the source file server. “Usermapper methods” on page 61 provides more details. Configuring VNX User Mapping provides more information. ◆ The source server must be a Unicode CIFS server. ASCII CIFS is not supported. 22 VNX File System Migration Version 2.0 for NFS and CIFS User Guide 7.1
Assumptions CDMS Overview This section contains document assumptions for NFS and CIFS migrations. It describes assumptions common to protocols as well as NFS- and CIFS-specific assumptions. Common The following assumptions with regard to the migration environment are common to NFS and CIFS data migrations: ◆ Network connections have been installed, adequate bandwidth is available, and the network has no congestion during the period that would affect migration times. ◆ There are no known issues on the source file server that could affect the migration such as faulty network connection, or a corrupted file system on the source file server, and so forth. ◆ All servers involved in the migration effort are part of a campus network environment. ◆ All network connections to the VNX are configured for a minimum of 100 Mb/s. Migrations performed with CDMS use a significant amount of bandwidth. Any network below 100 Mb/s might be unable to support this type of migration effort, and might incur long delays of frequent timeouts. In addition, the ability to support full duplex operations is highly recommended between the source file server and the Data Mover. This configuration option further enhances migration performance. ◆ Installing cabling, network equipment (fiber or Ethernet cables, interface cards, and so forth), and extensions to the physical network might be required to complete physical connections. Installation might include provisions for multiple network connections to the Data Movers, adding additional network interface cards (NICs) to specific file servers, or even replacing lower-speed components with higher-speed ones. NICs in the Data Movers determine the speed and cable types supported in this environment. ◆ Although it is possible to configure a migration effort by using common or public interconnections of an intranet, it is highly recommended that all migration efforts be configured to occur on a dedicated connection between the source file server and target Data Mover. This design affords the highest possible bandwidth availability to the migration. Assumptions 23
