Solaris

Hi everyone

I have a little question here, at my work, we have a system running Solaris 10 - with an attached EMC SAN, the SAN is running out of space, and we are moveing the data to a new EVA SAN.

The problem here is, that there are over 35.000.000 files on the system, and constantly 30 developers on the system.
I am going to mount the new SAN in Solaris - and copy all files from the old SAN, that haven't been changed for the last 2 days.

Then afterwards, lockout all the users and copy the last hunk of files.

Is it possible to do this ?

I've read somewhere that it is not recommended to use dd when working with SAN.

Hope you can help me with a solution

Your question is not clear. Are you asking if you should use dd command or not?

Hi,

I am asking for a way to copy all files on a system, that are older then 2 days.
Either with 'DD' or something else. :-)

you can use the "find" command to search for files which of two days old. Then you may simply copy them to another location, OR if you created a new partition on your new SAN disk, you can transfer it using ufsdump

Thanks! i will try that :-)
