Find out how to migrate your data from one HA-NAS to another via an NFS share

Objective

This guide details how to transfer data from one HA-NAS to another.

Requirements

  • An OVHcloud HA-NAS
  • An NFS-compatible distribution
  • You need to have mounted your HA-NAS beforehand by following the guide to mount your HA-NAS via an NFS share.

Instructions

Compatibility: Debian 6/7/8 & Ubuntu 12/13/14

To transfer your data, we will use the rsync command. There are several ways to transfer your data. It's up to you to use one over another.

The following example moves your data from a Source mount point to a Destination mount point.

rsync -Pva /mnt/SrcNas /mnt/DstNas
ArgumentDescription
SrcNasSource mount point
DstNasDestination mount point
Danger

Warning: if you add other options to rsync, these may not be compatible with the rights and permissions system of HA-NAS.
