DHCP server move from 10.20 to 11.11

[Jay Kianos]

I am moving our dhcp service from an old system running 10.20 to a newer box running 11.11. I need to be able to transfer the current dhcp database to the new server so that the leases are kept. What would be the best way to do this. Also, are there any differences between the 10.20 and the 11.11 implementations that will cause problems.

ftp should work.

I rarely do this, so I activate the feature with sam and then transfer the databases with ftp scp or sftp.

I back up the originals before I start.

I would not count on everything transferring perfectly.

Here is a doc.

Configuration files for the 10.20 box.

So if I copy /etc/bootptab, /etc/dhcptab, and /etc/dhcpdb, that should be everything?

If you are talking solely about dhcp then I believe that should work. I don't know about 11i (11.11) but a move from 10.10 to 11.00 was that easy.
What could cause a problem is if you are also using dns alongside dhcp. HP-UX 10.20 only supported Bind 4.97 where as HP-UX 11.11 uses the later bind 9
