So the first one is to understand, you know, what do we have, right?

How many shares is it?

How big are they?

What type of data?

Who accesses it?

And most storage administrators can kind of eyeball this stuff and they'll know.

But like you said, when you have a jack of all trades, maybe they have to kind of dig into it.

But that is a really valuable time spent.

And then after that, understanding how we're going to lay it out on the target, whether it's all in one volume, maybe like a flex group or multiple volumes or flex groups and flex balls on the same box.

You can do that, right, Justin?

Yep.

Same SVM event.

So, um, after that, the other key is, especially for NAS migrations, you know, Sam has this perception that it's like really crazy hard, but with foreign land import being free on box, um, and online migrations, um, they are really trivial.

Um, with NAS, we have to do things like make sure, um, authentication is working really well.

right, making sure my name mapping is working really well.

So making sure the target system is healthy is one of those, you know, key milestones that we always look for before we do that first cutover.

And that's why we always recommend doing a pilot migration or, you know, new storage requests, go to the new platform, making sure that, you know, that greenfield environment is healthy before we go in and cut over, you know, GLADIS and HR's, you know, departmental file share.

We don't want to make HR angry, so.

We want those big cutovers to be seamless, right, which is why we test up front.

Yeah, that's absolutely.
