be created. To simplify the process, you can create one backup before performing

any of the steps instead of creating multiple backups as you go.

To perform an ongoing migration

Use the following command to ensure that there are no files in the file system

that will be inaccessible after migrating the data due to large file size or

differences in user or group ID between platforms:

# fscdsadm -v -t target mount_point

If such files exist, move the files to another file system or reduce the size of

the files.

Add the platform on the target_list file:

■ If migrating a file system between Solaris and Linux, add SunOS and Linux

to the target_list file:

# fscdsadm -o add -t os_name=SunOS /mnt1

# fscdsadm -o add -t os_name=Linux /mnt1

■ If migrating a file system between HP-UX and Linux, add HP-UX and Linux

to the target_list file:

# fscdsadm -o add -t os_name=HP-UX /mnt1

# fscdsadm -o add -t os_name=Linux /mnt1

Enforce the limits:

# fscdsadm -l enforce mount_point

This is the last of the preparation steps. When the file system is to be migrated,

it must be unmounted, and then the storage moved and mounted on the target

system.

Unmount the file system:

# umount mount_point

Make the file system suitable for use on the specified target.
