3306.0. "moving ALL-IN-1 to another cluster ?" by MSAM03::HOSOKEHUN () Tue Sep 21 1993 08:48

    Hi,
    
    Need some advice on the following:
    
    Customer has purchased a brand new cluster system to be networked into
    their present cluster systems. Now, they want to move ALL-IN-1 V3.0
    from the 'old' cluster system to the 'new' cluster system.
    
    Is there any 'documented' way of doing this ?
    
    
    I can think of 2 ways: 
    
    1. install ALL-IN-1 V3.0, MR etc on the new cluster and move all the
    users over from the old cluster ? What do I have to watch out for other
    than making sure all users read and file their mails ? Do I have to set
    up the ALL-IN-1 environment as in the old cluster, like the share
    areas, mail areas etc ??
    
    2. backup the ALL-IN-1 and users disks and restore on the new cluster ?
    However, the node name is not the same in this case, would that effect
    MR and ALL-IN-1 ? If there a way to reset the node name and address in
    MR and ALL-IN-1 ?
    
    
    Any suggestions/experience is welcome.
    
    
    Thanks in advance,
    Angeline

    There are several notes in this conference already about moving
    systems, merging systems, moving discs etc., all of which contain good
    advice.

3306.2replies from other notesfiles no detail enough..MSAM03::HOSOKEHUNThu Sep 23 1993 05:2715
    BUT....
    
    I had read the notes related to moving ALL-IN-1.
    
    I was thinking someone has the experience to say which of the above
    methind which I outlined is the easier/better/error-proof.. method.
    or maybe any GOTCHAs...
    
    Also, from the notes replies, there seem to have problems with drawers of
    V3.0. I am just gathering experience from here if any to try to not
    make a blunder when I am on-site doing the move, since its not
    documented on the manual and I do have any system to do any testing !
