When I have upgraded server hardware while keeping the /vicep* disks, I followed, roughly, these steps: 1. Shut down $OLD_SERVER 2. bring up $NEW_SERVER on $OLD_SERVER's IP address and hostname 3. Install afs, set up $NEW_SERVER as a fileserver. 4. shut down $NEW_SERVER 5. move the /vicep* disks to $NEW_SERVER and power on 6. make sure the /vicep* disks mount in /exactly/ the same place on $NEW_SERVER as they did on $OLD_SERVER 7. restart fileserver on $NEW_SERVER to see the mounted drives it's been painless so far, I've done it a couple times. --david > > Thanks in advance > > Jose Angel Herrero Velasco > > ________________________________________________________________________ > > > > _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ > Administrador de Sistemas > _/ _/ _/ _/ > _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ Grupo de Arquitectura y > TecnologÃa de Computadores > _/ _/ _/ _/ E.T.S.I.I.T. - > UNIVERSIDAD DE CANTABRIA > _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ 39005 SANTANDER > CANTABRIA (SPAIN) > > Tel./Fax : +34 942 202248 / 2039 > e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: > http://www.atc.unican.es > _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
