We dont run multiple db servers however I have replaced the db server in our cell a couple of times and its just a matter of moving over the ./db files, shutting down, renaming, etc and starting back up. I got caught up on some firewall rules for a bit but other that that it was ok. I did not need to shutdown any of the afs fileservers. /sd > I recently did that, replacing 3 AIX Transarc AFS systems with 3 Linux > 1.2.11 systems, one at a time (maybe a week or more apart.)
