4107.0. "Copy ALL-IN-1 v3.0 system to another VAX" by WELSWS::NUTKINSM (Martin Nutkins) Mon Apr 25 1994 00:37

My customer wants to copy their entire ALL-IN-1 v3.0 application,
customisations and user accounts from a VAX 6000 running VMS 5.5-2
to a new VAX 4000 running VMS 5.5-2H.

The current system has 4 drives (shadowed) as does the new system.
They will be keeping the same node name and address on the new system.

The reason I don't want to copy the whole system is that the current system
is a copy of the development system and contains a sorts of products/rubbish.


My intention is to :-

1) Install and configure all the pre-requisite software ie FMS,MR etc

2) Install, but not re-configure ALL-IN-1 v3.0.  

3) Copy over the ALL-IN-1 system, customisations and user directories.

4) Change the ALL-IN-1 logicals to point to the new locations.


Is there anything else I need to consider ?

Is there anything special I will have to do for PARTITION.DAT ?



Thanks

4107.1Device name to changeZPOVC::CHINGYUEWed Apr 27 1994 04:5925
    Martin,
    
    Is physical device name used in User, SDAF and SHARED Dirs creation ?
    If so, A1CONFIG, SM_SHARED_DIR_MASTER, SM_SDAF_MASTER and CM must be 
    modified accordingly. Same apply to PARTITION.DAT and PROFILE.DAT.
    
    I've a script here that mass changes the device name for your
    reference.
    
    FOR profil WITH NOT -
    (.user = "@" OR .user <=> ":" OR  .user == "BOOT" OR .user == "X400" )
    DO -
            GET #USER = .USER\\ -
            GET #OLD_DEV = PROFIL.DIRECT[#USER]\\ -
            GET #DIR = FN$ELEMENT(1, ":", #OLD_DEV)\\ -
            GET #NEW_DEV = FN$CONCAT("$6$DKA300:", #DIR)\\ -
                                      ^^^^^^^^^
            WRITE CHANGE profil user= #user, DIRECT = #NEW_DEV
    
    
    GET OA$DISPLAY OA$_GBL_OPERATION_SUCCESSFUL\FORCE
    .EXIT
