We are planning to replace NetApp.
Old NetApp environment
> Model: FAS2240
> Ontap: 8.1.4P1
> Controller A host name: HostA
> Controller B host name: HostB
> Filer registration name: HostA
> NAS usage: CIFS only
> User authentication: AD
New NetApp environment
> Model: FAS2750
> Ontap: 9.9.1 (planned)
> CIFS server name of SVM: HostA
> NAS usage: CIFS only
> User authentication: AD
AD environment
> AD server OS: Windows 2016
> AD function level: Windows 2012
Because of the problem of inter-system linkage, the customer wishes to continue using the old CIFS server name (HostA).
During the data migration period until the changeover between the old and new NetApp, the CIFS server name of the new NetApp SVM will be temporarily set as (newHostA) and join AD.
When switching between the old and new NetApps, the following measures may be necessary
1. Change the Filer registration name of the old NetApp to (oldHostA) and rejoin AD.
2. Change the CIFS server name of the new NetApp SVM to (HostA) and rejoin AD.
3. Operation check test after the switchover and production switchover
(Switch back if a problem occurs during the switchover)
1. Change the CIFS server name of the new NetApp SVM to (newHostA) and rejoin AD.
2. Change the Filer registration name of the old NetApp to (HostA) and rejoin AD.
3. Test to confirm the operation after switching back
The following is what we want to check.
1. Procedure for changing the Filer host name of the old NetApp
When a new Filer is created, it seems to be set by the (cifs setup) command.
When the Filer name is changed, doI have to execute the (cifs setup) command in the same way?
Please let me know the specific procedure for changing the name.
2. The name of the old NetApp controller A is the same as the name of the Filer, but do I only need to change the Filer?
Is it necessary to change the controller name as well?
Please let me know the specific procedure for changing the name.
3. The AD server is Windows 2016 (functional level 2012), does this affect the old NetApp Filer settings? Will this affect the old NetApp filer settings?
Regards.
