Moving file systems from one server to the other
Hi
I have a server running solaris 10 with UFS type file systems, residing on a NetApp storage system, in which I need to move those file systems (all of them) to another solaris 10 server.
The normal procedure to create a file system is to do a format, newfs, mkdir and mount. But on this case I cannot do newfs because I will be destryiong the data already on those LUNs or file systems.
Any hint in how to go about it
