migrating windows veritas cluster to standalone server

[Salibt]

hi, ihave the following issue
i am trying to migrate veritas disk group (part of verotas cluster resource) to a standalone server using san migration tools.
after migrating the disk group , i can from the standalone server import the disk group and i can see the violume with their size but i can't explore the volume.
is there any special setting that should i do to be able to see the data from the standalone server?

AFAIK, this is not going to work. There is a special driver that VCS uses for the disks that will make it not readable unless you install VCS.

Depending on the data on the drive, your best bet is to simply ROBOCOPY the data off to the new machine.

You need something that will read at the file level and not the block level basically. SAN type tools only usually run at the block level.

PS: My company had this same problem 8 months ago and we ended up just doing a Robocopy. It was a SQL2000 Cluster. Source was 2003 32 Ent with VCS and Destination was a 2003 32 Ent with no VCS.
