  • System and method for developing and implementing a migration plan for migrating a file system
    Patent number: 11681668
    Abstract: A computer system implements a file system migration by determining a destination namespace of a destination file system based at least in part on a namespace of a source file system. At least a portion of the destination namespace includes an organization that is altered as compared to a corresponding portion of the source namespace.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PLANNING AND CONFIGURING A FILE SYSTEM MIGRATION
    Publication number: 20210109890
    Abstract: A migration plan is created that is based at least in part on an operator input. The resources of a destination file system are provisioned based on the migration plan. One or more processes to migrate the source file system for the provisioned resources of the destination file system are then configured based on the migration plan.

  • System and method for planning and configuring a file system migration
    Patent number: 10860529
    Abstract: A migration plan is created that is based at least in part on an operator input. The resources of a destination file system are provisioned based on the migration plan. One or more processes to migrate the source file system for the provisioned resources of the destination file system are then configured based on the migration plan.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING A MIGRATION PLAN FOR MIGRATING A FILE SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20160041996
    Abstract: A migration plan is used to create a namespace for the destination file system based at least in part on a namespace of the source file system. The migration plan is also used to determine a destination collection of policies for implementation on the destination file system. At least one of the namespace or the collection of destination policies include an operator-specific configuration that is specified by the one or more rules or parameters of the operator input.
