Migrating PVC Volumes to a New NetApp: Best Practices and Considerations

[chrs04]

Hello everyone!

My customer needs to decommission their old test NetApp. This old NetApp also hosts a Trident vServer with PVC volumes.

Now we need to transfer the volumes to the new NetApp, and we are asking ourselves the following questions:

What is the best method for migrating PVC volumes to another NetApp?

Unfortunately, the IP address and vServer name will also change.

I have the following ideas in mind:

• Vol Move or SnapMirror
• Backup & Restore

What do you think?

Assuming we decide on the Vol Move or SnapMirror approach, can I simply update the Trident backends with the new values (vServer name & IP for Data+Mgmt Lif), and will the OpenShift cluster still be able to find its volumes?

Thanks & best regards,
Christopher
