迁移到nutanix文件

C

你好，

我的老板对将我们的服务器2012 R2文件服务器迁移到文件非常感兴趣。必须保留我们现有的DFS名称空间之一。我希望有人可以提供与计划移民相关的一些利弊，利弊，福利和陷阱。谢谢。

    Hello,<\/p>

    My boss is very interested in migrating our Server 2012 r2 file server\u00a0to Files. One of the must haves is that we would have to keep our existing DFS namespace. I\u2019m hoping someone can provide some pros, cons, benefits and pitfalls associated with this planned migration. Thanks.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>","quoteUsername":"chucksterCA","translations":{"Common":{"like":"Like","unlike":"Unlike"},"Forum":{"Quote":"Quote","Share":"Share"}}}">

    我想提一下，做出回答/方法的最佳方法是事先阅读所有文档和KB，即使这样计划咨询W Nutanix预售/SRE和支持。

    多年来，我们一直在测试/审核文件已有一段时间了，因此已经熟悉了许多（新的）功能……。你的旅费可能会改变。（对我们有用的东西可能对您不起作用。）

    大约10个月前，我们进行了类似的迁移（成功地）大约50+ TB的数据存储在100多个DFS-N文件夹目标中，并且许多来自2种不同类型的来源的股份（第三方“ NAS”解决方案，并将Windows Servers上的一些股票（2012R2+ Flavors）合并到2个Nutanix文件簇。

    我会阅读“标准”和“分布式”共享概念之间的差异，并计划与这两种类型共享您的需求最佳匹配。For us we ended up using all Standard shares, since I couldn’t guarantee that someone/some app didn’t create a file at the root of a Nutanix Files hosted share… Don’t think that has changed in Files 3.7 - but please double check that.

    DFS-N名称空间问题对我们来说是最不利的：

    即，假设您具有基于广告域的DFS-N根，这是创建指向文件共享的新文件夹目标（禁用其禁用），但验证它可以打开。Robocopy数据/验证数字匹配，然后在维护窗口中禁用原始共享（和拒绝对任何非管理员的权限），然后将DFS-N文件夹目标从在线转换为原始共享和离线脱机，然后在Files Files文件夹目标上进行在线。与客户一起测试...

    如果您有很大的分享，则可以通过PowerShell进行整个过程...

    我们使用此方法遇到了0个问题。

    还有其他一些要考虑的事情：

    我也会计划和在上线之前，请测试您的文件DR方案/恢复选项，更不用说您需要的DR网站上的磁盘空间（或第三方备份）。

    查看这些文件的测试驱动器以熟悉它：

    //www.jhbzcj.com/blog/nutanix-files-try-it-in-your-nour-wown-onvorlirnment-or-triment-or-try-it-on-on-ours-with-with-test-drive

    您知道您的平均每日变更率是多少吗？您的快照（用于DR/Protection域）将增长该尺寸…


    您知道您期望的连接的“最大”＃？我计划相应地对文件群集进行尺寸 - 阅读您所需版本的发行说明，以查看对此的RAM/CPU要求。不要尺寸不足...


    我们使用Robocopy来镜像源 /目的地 - 如果您打算在简单的文件级别恢复中使用“以前的版本”，如果与“ / mir”选项一起使用，则将找到一个额外的目录：

    Robocopy“ sourcepath”“ destinatePath”… /mir ..... /xd“ \\ nutanixfiles \ share1 \ .snapshot”

    I would like to mention that the best way to do answer\/approach this is to read all the documentation and KBs beforehand and even then to plan on having a\u00a0consult <\/strong><\/em>w Nutanix pre-sales\/SRE\u2019s and Support.<\/p>

    We\u2019ve been testing\/reviewing Files for a while now so had been familiar with many of it\u2019s (new) features over the years\u2026. your mileage may vary. (What worked for us may not work\/be needed for you.)<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    We did a similar migration about 10 months ago (successfully<\/strong>) of about 50+TB of data stored in over 100+ DFS-N folder targets, \u00a0and that many shares from 2 different types of sources (3rd party \u201cNAS\u201d solution and consolidated a few shares on Windows Servers (2012R2+ flavors) onto 2 Nutanix Files clusters.<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    I would read up on the differences between \u201cStandard\u201d and \u201cDistributed\u201d share concepts and plan out which shares your needs best match up with those two types. For us we ended up using all Standard shares, since I couldn\u2019t guarantee that someone\/some app didn\u2019t create a file at the root of a Nutanix Files hosted share\u2026\u00a0Don\u2019t think that has changed in Files 3.7 - but please double check that.<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    The DFS-N Namespace question was the least problematic for us:<\/p>

    i.e. assuming you have AD Domain based DFS-N roots it\u2019s a matter of creating a new folder target pointed to the Files share (leave it disabled) but verify it opens up.\u00a0Robocopy the data\/verify numbers match up, then in a maintenance window disable the original share (and <\/em>deny permissions to any non admins) and switch the DFS-N folder target from online to offline on original share and offline to online on the Files folder target. Test with clients...<\/p>

    If you have a large # of shares the whole process can be done via PowerShell...<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    We had 0 issues using this method.\u00a0<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    Some other things to consider:<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    I would also plan and <\/strong>test out your Files DR scenario\/recovery options before you go live, not to mention review\/buy the disk space on the DR site you\u2019ll need (or 3rd party backup).<\/p>

    Check out these test-drives of Files to get familiar with it:\u00a0<\/p>

    \/\/www.jhbzcj.com\/blog\/nutanix-files-try-it-in-your-own-environment-or-try-it-on-ours-with-test-drive<\/a><\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    Do you know what your average daily change rate is? Your snapshots (for DR\/Protection Domains) will grow by that size\u2026<\/p>


    Do you know the \u2018max\u2019 # of connections you expect? I would plan on sizing the Files cluster accordingly - read the release notes for your desired version to see the RAM\/CPU requirements on that. Don\u2019t undersize it\u2026\u00a0<\/p>


    We used robocopy to mirror source \/ destinations - If you plan on using \u201cPrevious Versions\u201d in for your simple file level recovery, robocopy, if used with a \u201c\/MIR\u201d option will find an extra directory you need to exclude on the Files side:

    robocopy \u201csourcepath\u201d \u201cdestinationpath\u201d \u2026 \/MIR ..... \/XD \u201c\\\\NutanixFiles\\Share1\\.snapshot\u201d<\/p>","quoteUsername":"DavidN","translations":{"Common":{"like":"Like","unlike":"Unlike"},"Forum":{"Quote":"Quote","Share":"Share"}}}">
