ignite attitude

[Ron Irving]

Hi guys!!

I have an older 11.0 system I would like to ignite to a newer system, 11.11. The weird thing is that the older box has ignite B.4.4.30, and the newer one has an older ignite version: B.4.4.29. When I run the make_net_ recovery command, it complains about the recovery tools vesion being too old on the target system. Is there a download for 4.4.30 out there still?

Thanks in advance

Hi Ron:

No, you will only find the most current Ignite software on the Ignite web site.

This doesn't make sense to me. If you are migrating from 11.0 to 11.11 cold-install 11.11. You can 'vgexport' non-vg00 volume groups and 'vgimport' them afterwards to carry your old data to the new configuration.

Thanks James!!

What I'm doing is the recovery option, as there hasn't been a make_tape_recovery or a make_net_recovery done on these systems in a LONG time. I won't be upgrading these systems running 11.0, as they are scheduled to be decommisioned later this year.

Better safe than sorry, right?

Hi (again) ROn:

So, take a 'make_tape_recovery' of your old server, since you have version "incompatibilities" among your servers.

That's probably going to end up happening. Once I feel more comfortable with the mixed platforms here, I'll get everything up to the same level and just ignite everything to a central location.

Thanks again!!
