Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: designating a first network attached storage system and a second network attached storage system, wherein the first and second network attached storage systems are operatively coupled to each other via at least one network; selecting at least one file system on the first network attached storage system to migrate to the second network attached storage system; defining at least one criterion of the at least one file system on the second network attached storage system; automatically determining a configuration of the second network attached storage system based on the defined criterion; identifying at least one other file system on the first network attached storage system as not being automatically migrated, and setting the identified file system to a status of not migrating, wherein the identifying is based on one or more inconsistencies between the first network attached storage system and the second network attached storage system; providing for selection of one of manually migrating the identified file system, overriding the status of not migrating, and not migrating the identified file system; and migrating the at least one file system from the first network attached storage system to the second network attached storage system over the at least one network, and, depending on the selection, migrating the at least one other file system from the first network attached storage system to the second network attached storage system over the at least one network; wherein defining the criterion comprises overriding settings of the at least one file system on the first network attached storage system to modify a configuration of the at least one file system on the second network attached storage system; and wherein the steps of the method are executed via at least one processor coupled to a memory.
