I was wondering if anyone has done a migration from Transarc to
OpenAFS
recently and can provide some suggestions on how to do the
migration smoothly.
We have a large number of existing users and around 1 Terabyte of data
to move. I expect that there will be some downtime that is
necessary while
we are doing the migration, but we would like to minimize the downtime
if possible.
The only issues I'm aware of are:
1. if you are switching to "namei" fileservers, you'll need to dump
and reload all your volumes. (You would have to build OpenAFS from
source to do this; the Solaris build defaults to "inode", which is
compatible.)
2. Unless built with --enable-transarc-paths (IIRC), the client and
server configuration file locations have changed. Very roughly (i.e.
don't bet your cell on this without checking docs), /usr/afs is /usr/
local/etc/openafs/server and /usr/vice/etc is /usr/local/etc/afs.
