Executive summary
In the past, the process of migrating data, users, and existing applications was a time consuming, arduous
process. Dell EMC Isilon offers built-in migration tools in addition to third-party tools. Datadobi’s DobiMigrate
reduces overall migration time, resources, and total cost. This document clarifies the concerns associated
with migration, by describing the seamless transition process from NetApp 7-Mode or Clustered Data ONTAP
(cDOT).
Isilon built-in migration tools
5 NetApp to OneFS Migration Tools | H15756
1 Isilon built-in migration tools Isilon’s OneFS distributed software provides built-in tools for migrating from traditional NAS platforms. These
tools utilize the Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP), to transfer snapshots or an image, over the
network, while allowing the source system to be client accessible. Migration includes all data within a
specified volume or directory. The built-in tools migrate files, directories, NFS permissions, Windows ACLs,
and Windows properties. System configuration settings are not migrated.
OneFS’ built-in migration tools are as follows:
• isi_vol_copy: Compatible with migrating from NetApp storage systems
• isi_vol_copy_vnx: Compatible with migrating from Celera and VNX Storage systems
These tools are recommended under the following conditions:
• Small data migrations
• New and existing storage system are on a local network
• NetApp system is in 7-Mode. Clustered Data ONTAP (cDOT) is not supported.
• NetApp system as a whole contains less than 10 million inodes
OneFS’ built-in migration tools provide basic data copy functions. For additional granularity and control over
the migration, Dell EMC recommends Datadobi’s DobiMigrate.
For additional information on the usage of the isi_vol_copy commands, refer to the Isilon OneFS 8.2.1 CLI
