I have a few test servers in-house and now I'm migrating them to a

if it's only test enviroment you could easily turn off the test system
and copy it to the production storage when keeping the devices the same.
Then just backup db and import it into the new db.
Adjust ips and hostnames of the storage servers and start up mogilefs
I'd like to export out all of the files in mogile as well as the
database, to a whole new set of servers.
to port the database you could setup a replication from first db to the
second later db.
When replication finished you can just change the master db connection
in the tracker to the new db as master and kill the replication.
My test server setup has 2 mogile storage servers, while there's only
one production server.
that does basically mean that mindevcount 3 will not work as it tries to
replicate the files on different fileservers.
So it does the replication to the new server ... but when you remove the
old servers it will complain that there are too less nodes.
(Should not be a problem though)
As suggested, I've now set both of the test server mogstored devices
to "drain", and added the production server's mogstored device as
active. This is supposed to copy all of the files from the test
servers to the production server. Thing is, it seems to be
progressing rather slowly. Anyone know how long it should take 20GBs
to move over, and how I could speed it up?
No expierience yet how long that could take. :(
Lastly, once this is all done, do I just import the test server mogile
data to the production database, and then modify the host and remove
traces of the old servers? I'm guessing after it's completed, there
won't be any files referencing the test servers, since they've been
set to drain?
Look above how i would transfer the database ... once all files are
replicated you could set all devices that will be shutdown to status dead.
Check if it still is all functional ... then just shutdown the
fileservers ... the aren't asked anymore anyway.
Last step ist to (use mogadm or plain database) remove the fileservers
and their devices.
By the way, does drain mean the test server files will be removed
after they are moved over?
someone else could possibly can give you an exact describtion what will
be made.
Though ... is it important?
As you shut those servers down you could just delete all partitions and
it wouldn't matter.
