Changing partition types
Updated: 24 Feb 2012 | 5 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
Im using EV9 Sp2. At the moment we are using SAN attached storage for partitions, with NTFS. If I wanted to move to a new storage type (Cellera for example), would it be possible to do this for all partitions (old and new) or would I only be able to create new ones? Would I have to create a new Vault Store and migrate archives onto it? If partition 1 was NTFS, could I copy the data, delete Partition 1, create a new partition 1 on Cellera then copy the data back?
Thanks.

The Celerra is just going to
The Celerra is just going to be using CIFS right?
You might not even have to bother changing types, i mean its not massively different from NTFS unlike say a Centera or something very specific like that
yep
Yep, just CIFS. In the partition creation wizard though, you need to choose the storage type, so wouldn't you have to use Celerra rather then NTFS?
Well CIFS would just be set
Well CIFS would just be set as network share or NTFS if you are mounting it as a drive
If you could test it that might show you what issues you might encounter, but I doubt it will be anything at all
Is there even a cellera option when creating a new partition?
Yep, it's called "EMC Celerra
Yep, it's called "EMC Celerra Unified Storgae Platforms". So any storage device that can present CIFS could be added as a partition using "Network Share? You don't have to specifically identify the actual storage type?
Hi SortID. That is correct
Hi SortID. That is correct it can be added as network share using CIFS. Personally speaking I would recommend leaving the data on SAN attached storage.
Would you like to reply?
