Migrate shares from on File to another File | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

Hi all, I have two Nutanix Files (FS1 & FS2) created in the same cluster, FS1 has replication protection and 3 shares created (e.g. share1, share2, share3), FS2 is local protection only with 2 shares (e.g. share4, share5) created. Due to business need, share4 would need replication protection. Is there any way to migrate share4 from FS2 to FS1 online? 

Hi, JackyC,

Not possible as online, if you have Files managed through PC, you can test SmartDR , which is share based and failover. or you can use robocopy/xcopy like solution to replicate data and disable the source.

Nutanix Move can be considered for One time migration, incase if you are looking for sync replication then Smart DR can be considered. 

 

Smart DR facilitates share-level data replication and file-server-level disaster recovery. In the event of a planned or unplanned loss of service, you can restore write access to protected shares by failing-over to a recovery site file server. Protection policies indicate failover details, including the primary location, recovery location, and the replication schedule.
