Trying to move away from Vxfs to ZFS, what is the best way to copy the data to the new ZFS filesystems. Tried to do a cpio . -depth -print | cpio -pamduv and it starts working but then it crashes after a few hours. There is a number of TB's worth of data that needs to be migrated. Not sure if we can use Netbackup to backup the VXFS and then do a restore to a ZFS. Anyone have any experience with migrating data from VXFS to ZFS or UFS.
