Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and a system for migrating a virtual file server. In an example of a method, a virtual file server is migrated from a first storage to a second storage, wherein the virtual file server comprises a server layer and a data layer. Identity information is retrieved from the server layer from the server layer for the second storage. The identity information is updated so instantiation of the virtual file server on the second storage appears the same as on the first storage.
