I migrated a server from somewhere in Virginia on a RAID setup to a desktop in Atlanta without RAID over the internet. I obviously wasnt present in either of the places.
All one has to be careful of are the following : 1.Confirm all the hardware are supported by the OS. 2. Make sure RAID disks are configured properly. 3. If RAID doesnt exist in the destination - make sure /etc/raidtab is renamed. 4. Update /etc/fstab to point everything in the right partitions. 5. Update /etc/lilo.conf or /etc/grub.conf to point the bootloader at the right direction. 6. Create a new /boot/initrd if the hard disk/filesystem is different. 7. Update MBR if you are using lilo. 8. Update /etc/modules.conf for any settings that is required in the destination. I think that covers all the critical areas - ofcourse X might require reconfiguration etc.. but your OS will definitely boot by now. Mithun --- Vipul Mathur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Right.
