Setting up the IBM Storage Scale environment for capacity and performance

The first step for data migration is to set up the IBM Storage Scale nodes if you have not already done so. For more information, see Steps for establishing and starting your IBM Storage Scale cluster.

To achieve optimum performance while migrating small files, ensure the following:
  • Use many Windows clients to scale out the number of SMB sessions
  • Use Robocopy with /MT option
  • Disable the syncops:onclose option while creating the SMB exports, if applicable
