copy files from one CIFS share to another...the NetApp way

$

Hello

 

I am banging my head against the wall and can't find the answer.

 

I have 2 CIFS and want to copy files from one CIFS subfolder to a different CIFS subfolder.

 

Normally I just go to windows file explorer and copy, or even use RoboCopy, Powershell...whatever

 

Here are my problems: can't really do that, the 2 CIFS are in 2 different vLANs, not visible to each other, and the we are talking 1.5 TB with about 4 mil files

 

so, considering NetApps file system WAFL, its all just pointers (in this case at least), so i should be able to use OntAps Powershell module and "tell NetApp" to copy it

 

I can't find the correct cmd or using a wrong syntax

 

I have tried:

Copy-NcHostFile

Copy-NaHostFile

 

i have tried to get anywhere with 

get-ncfile

get-nccifsshare

 

but i just can't get anything going other than retrieving some info about the shares and the CIFS, but nothing which will list files or even copy a file or an entire subfolder

 

am I missing something, is there a way to script this? I like to script this because this will likely come up more often with different folders.

 

Thanks everybody for your input and help!
