Back in 2012, we had to migrate our 50 optical platters from a 3995-C42 to the IFS.
Using conventional methods, runtime process would have been months.
3rd party vendor had a utility to do this faster.
SMU - Storage Migration Utility.
The utility migrated all 50 platters in less than one day.
Possibly a similar utility might be available for your migration.

Subject: Large volume file move
Our native document management system stores files on an external Windows server in the same rack as our POWER7. As part of our POWER9 upgrade, we're planning on moving those files into an iASP. We currently access the files via an NFS share.
The obvious way to do the move is to use CPY and copy them locally over the NFS share. Is there a better way to do this? Ballpark, we're looking at about 20.7 million files (about 1 TB).
Also is there any way to gauge the time required? FWIW, both systems will have dual NIC's going thru different gigabit switches.
TIA
