Hello,
Thanks for looking at my question.
Environment: W2K12 R2 file servers on VMware 6.5
Task: Move the file system for our document management system to another drive hosted by a cluster such that patching can go forward without user interruption.
Source: W2K12R2 with "File iSCSI Services" but no DFS/Namespace - Drive is a "local" VMDK - Share is a 'standard' share
-The only permission on the share and all folders/files in the source is "Everyone: Full Control"
Size is 3.5TB, 616K folders, 3.6million files according to the "properties" of the root dir for the share
Destination: W2K12R2 stand-alone clustered file server with DFS -Share is a DFS share on a SCSI-attached SAN disk
SAN is a TrueNAS HA-20X
Drive size is 4TB
Destination Perms: Everyone: Full Control; Domain Administrator: Full Control
Command line Used: robocopy \\source \\destination /MIR /E /Z /ZB /TBD /NP /FFT /R:2 /W:2 /MT:40
Issue: I cannot get robocopy to connect to the destination share at all unless I use the /nocopy switch. Any other /dcopy or /copy switches or leaving at the default causes me to get "Error 87 (0x00000057) Accessing Destination Directory The parameter is incorrect."
If I add the /nocopy to the line above it will "run successfully" but not copy any files, only folders, which makes sense I believe. I ran it this way and it did, in 26 minutes, enumerate all 616K folders to the new share...but no files. I can't get robocopy to copy a single flipping file to this share.
I have run this from the source and destination servers, and as my domain "super" admin account and as the built-in domain admin account (GUID:500) and I get the same thing every time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
