If you have a directory at the root of a FlexVol volume that you want to convert to a qtree, you need to migrate the data contained in the directory to a new qtree with the same name, using your client application.
About this task
The steps you take to convert a directory to a qtree depend on what client you use. The following process outlines the general tasks you need to complete.
Before you begin
You cannot delete a directory if it is associated with an existing CIFS share.
Steps
-
Rename the directory to be made into a qtree.
-
Create a new qtree with the original directory name.
-
Use the client application to move the contents of the directory into the new qtree.
-
Delete the now-empty directory.
