Thank you Marc. I was just trying to suggest another approach to this email
thread.
However i believe, we cannot run mmfind/mmapplypolicy with remote filesystems

maintenance but had to copy similar data in less time.
In both the

fabric (as ours were) you can use that instead of ethernet, and it

transfers

breakfast, lunch, and evening social event on site. All at no charge to
attendees. Detailed agenda coming soon.
