You can enable automated migration on an existing unprovisioned dataset by editing that dataset and attaching an existing vFiler unit.
Before you begin
- Verify that your dataset meets the requirements for the type of automated migration (online or offline) that you want to enable.
- Verify that your dataset does not yet have any existing members provisioned to it.
- Be ready to assign an existing vFiler unit to your dataset.
- You must be authorized to perform all the steps of this task; your RBAC administrator can confirm your authorization in advance.
