Migrate User Profile Disks to new File Server


i'm looking guidance/best practice/advice on moving user profile disk share. goal simple enough, have share upds on stand-alone file server. i'm in process of configuring scale-out file server , migrate upd share cluster once running smoothly. i'm running 2012 r2 rds farm. process simple changing unc path in server manager , migrating data? if so, should copy data change unc path or other way around?

on related note, there problems of hosting upd share on dfs? i'm not looking replicate share, ease similar migration in future if necessary replicate or use dfs migration toolkit without needing alter unc path in farm client facing path wouldn't change. idea i'm toying , love feedback.

i think in simple/flat scenario, change unc path , wizard automatically setup share on target folder correct root permissions

then can robocopy.exe /mir move individual upds on while retaining unique permissions each user

regarding scale out file server, can't use sofs general file share workload , sofs + dfs combination has limited capabilities

for now, sofs compatible clustered hyper-v, iis, vmm and sql workloads

you can use old fashion clustered file server role smb 3.0 upds however, 2012 allows proper clustered share aliases allows natively use virtual name under clustered file share option works nicely in case

setting dfs above scenario seems supported although haven't done before
