Re: How to Migrate all Filesystems with data to new hardware server in service guard in hpux11.31
There is a lot of missing information:
You are replacing two rx2800-i4 servers with two identical rx2800-i4 servers?
What is the reason for the replacements?
Do the new servers have different fibre cards.
Will the fibre switch also be replaced?
Is there a tape drive available to take an Ignite backup and restore for the internal disks?
Or do you have a separate Ignite server to backup and restore over the network?
Do you have any software running that is licensed to the serial or ID number for the old systems?

Re: How to Migrate all Filesystems with data to new hardware server in service guard in hpux11.31
You are replacing two rx2800-i4 servers with two identical rx2800-i4 servers? --> YES.
What is the reason for the replacements? --> Hardware replacement ageing more than 5 yrs.
Do the new servers have different fibre cards. --> No; FC Model - HP AH401A
Will the fibre switch also be replaced? No, But port will be different in same SAN switch. FC zonning part would be taken care by SAN team.
Is there a tape drive available to take an Ignite backup and restore for the internal disks? -- > NO
Or do you have a separate Ignite server to backup and restore over the network? --> Separate Ignite server in same network.
Do you have any software running that is licensed to the serial or ID number for the old systems? No

Re: How to Migrate all Filesystems with data to new hardware server in service guard in hpux11.31
IMHO you have 2 options.
Option1:
Ignite (this is a must have for your servers)
Option2:
DRD (clone) the existing system to the new hardware.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: How to Migrate all Filesystems with data to new hardware server in service guard in hpux11.31
I have built both the new servers from Ignite of old servers.
Now my query : As per configuration I stated earlier -
1. How to sync root vg data on outage ?
2. How to migrate cluster VG to new hosts ?

I'd:
- recover from ignite old_rx28 --> new_rx28 (with changed hostname & IPs)
- reconfigure SAN to "show" cluster disks to new_rx28 (new WWNs)
- add new_rx28 to existing cluster
- remove old_rx28 from the cluster.

A.
