Hi moving a DB server is not as trivial as moving the data. For a start you can setup a new db server for your cell on the new server and start it beside your old one - if done fine, they do sync automatic and both will work as expected. Now you need to see how your clients get known to the DB server - via CellServDB or via DNS entries - in no.1 you need to change the cellServDB on each client, on case no.2 you need to change the DNS entries. Afterwards you can stop the old DB server and the new one should serv all the data for your clients. I´ve done it a few times already and it is possible. > Youssef Eldakar > Bibliotheca Alexandrina > MfG, Lars Schimmer -- ------------------------------------------------------------- TU Graz, Institut für ComputerGraphik & WissensVisualisierung Tel: +43 316 873-5405 E-Mail: [email protected] Fax: +43 316 873-5402 PGP-Key-ID: 0x4A9B1723 _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
