Automatic file system migration to a network attached storage system

A computer program product comprising a processor-readable storage medium having encoded therein executable code of one or more software programs, wherein the one or more software programs when executed by the processor device implement the steps of:

• designating a first network attached storage system and a second network attached storage system, wherein the first and second network attached storage systems are operatively coupled to each other via at least one network;
• selecting at least one file system on the first network attached storage system to migrate to the second network attached storage system;
• defining at least one criterion of the at least one file system on the second network attached storage system;
• automatically determining a configuration of the second network attached storage system based on the defined criterion;
• identifying at least one other file system on the first network attached storage system as not being automatically migrated, and setting the identified file system to a status of not migrating, wherein the identifying is based on one or more inconsistencies between the first network attached storage system and the second network attached storage system;
• providing for selection of one of manually migrating the identified file system, overriding the status of not migrating, and not migrating the identified file system;
• and
• migrating the at least one file system from the first network attached storage system to the second network attached storage system over the at least one network, and, depending on the selection, migrating the at least one other file system from the first network attached storage system to the second network attached storage system over the at least one network
• wherein defining the criterion comprises overriding settings of the at least one file system on the first network attached storage system to modify a configuration of the at least one file system on the second network attached storage system.

An apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor operatively coupled to the memory and configured to:
• designate a first network attached storage system and a second network attached storage system, wherein the first and second network attached storage systems are operatively coupled to each other via at least one network;
• select at least one file system on the first network attached storage system to migrate to the second network attached storage system;
• define at least one criterion of the at least one file system on the second network attached storage system;
• automatically determine a configuration of the second network attached storage system based on the defined criterion;
• identify at least one other file system on the first network attached storage system as not being automatically migrated, and setting the identified file system to a status of not migrating, wherein the identifying is based on one or more inconsistencies between the first network attached storage system and the second network attached storage system;
• provide for selection of one of manually migrating the identified file system, overriding the status of not migrating, and not migrating the identified file system;
• and
• migrate the at least one file system from the first network attached storage system to the second network attached storage system over the at least one network, and, depending on the selection, migrate the at least one other file system from the first network attached storage system to the second network attached storage system over the at least one network
• wherein when defining the criterion, the processor is further operative to override settings of the at least one file system on the first network attached storage system to modify a configuration of the at least one file system on the second network attached storage system.
