Re: [gpfsug-discuss] Migrate/syncronize data from Isilon to Scale over NFS?

So at my last job we used to rsync data between isilons across campus, and isilon to Windows File Cluster (and back). I recommend using dry run to generate a list of files and then use this to run with rysnc. This allows you also to be able to break up the transfer into batches, and check if

Hi Jonathan, yes you are correct! but we plan to resync this once or twice every week for the next 3-4months to be sure everything is as it should be. Right now we are focused on getting them synced up and then we will run scheduled resyncs/checks once or twice a week depending on the data

Hi, Andi, sorry I just took your 20Gbit for the sign of 2x10Gbps bons, but it is over two nodes, so no bonding. But still, I'd expect to open several TCP connections in parallel per source-target pair (like with several rsyncs per source node) would bear an advantage (and still I thing NFS

Hi Andi, what about leaving NFS completeley out and using rsync (multiple rsyncs in parallel, of course) directly between your source and target servers? I am not sure how many TCP connections (suppose it is NFS4) in parallel are opened between client and server, using a 2x bonded interface
