Wendy, If I'm understanding correctly, your setup before migration/update was that you had the Handle Server & DSpace running on the same server (and are using the bundled Handle Server that comes with DSpace, rather than an external handle server)?
I'd suggest that if you are migrating DSpace to a new server, you also should migrate the Handle Server alongside it (as that was similar to your previous setup -- assuming I'm understanding your current setup). Is there really a reason *why* you want your handle server to be on a separate server from DSpace? All in all, moving your handle server is not very hard (in fact, as it's bundled with DSpace it will move over alongside your DSpace install). The hardest part is you will need to regenerate your sitebndl.zip (on the new server, with the new server's IP) and send that off to the folks at handle.net, so that they can ensure your handle prefix will forward to the new IP (instead of the old one). Usually that doesn't take long -- but it's always best to notify them in advance to ensure it can happen in a timely manner. - Tim On 6/11/2010 10:55 AM, Wendy J Bossons wrote: > Hello, > > We have been migrating our DSpace to 1.6, and are planning to also make an ip > address change that will impact the handle-server. > > There was an assumption that the existing handle-server would continue to > meet our needs while we completed miscellaneous required migraton tasks.
