Your osimage definitions and static groups should get migrated when you complete these steps: 1.14 Backup the xCAT database tables for the current configuration and 2.7 To restore the xCAT database
The files that your osimage definitions reference should get migrated when you complete these steps: 1.1 Backup xCAT important files and directories and 2.3 Overwrite files/directories mentioned in above 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 from backup server to new xCAT management server Doing a migration like this is more labor intensive than installing a new management node, importing your existing object definitions, re-running copycds for the osimages you need, then reinstalling your compute nodes. However, if you have a need to migrate your management node while leaving your compute nodes as-is, this process is necessary. ________________________________ From: Imam Toufique <techie...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2023 4:06 PM To: xCAT Users Mailing list <xcat-user@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: [EXTERNAL] [xcat-user] question on management node migration Hello, I am working to do a management node migration, and I have a question. I am following this link , https://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/advanced/migration/migration.html , and I see everything that needs to be done here, but I don't see any mentions about when / how to restore the OS images and static groups that I have. Should I run copycds to install all the OS images and create the static groups manually after installing xcat rpms to the new node and then restore all the files ( as mentioned in steps 1.1 through 1.11?) ? Or should I do something else? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ xCAT-user mailing list xCAT-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcat-user
