I was once (20 odd years ago) involved in moving a datacenter from one city to another. 9 months+ of planning...
We took backup on tape cartridges of everything, moved the cartridges and the physical DASD boxes by (separate) truck. But we had a new CEC with some new DASD already up & running on the new location; ready to be connected to the moved DASD. The really big challenge was to get the (pan-European) network updated so that trafic went to the new datacenter at the right time... Not obvious in those X25 days... Especially not because most communication lines were cross- border and virtually every telecom operator in Europe was involved. Dit I mention this took a loooooong planning period? Cheers, Jantje. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
