HP-UX 11.31 (Itanium) Ignite Server - to Restore 11.11 Clients

[Alzhy]

Amigos,

For DR - we're getting a new Itanium Server with 11.31 pre-loaded. It will act as our DR Ignite Archives repository and Ignite Serevr.

I know this is possible but I just want to get confirmation about the process.

- Install Ignite-UX C.X.X (or whatever is the latest) on All 11.11 CLients and Itanium Serbver

- move /var/opt/ignite TREE from old 11.11 PARISC server to new server.

- Change LAN Address directories in /var/opt/ignite/clients to reflect DR Site LAN addresses.


Is the above correct?

[Geoff Wild]

Yes - we just did this as well (not just for DR but our prod Ignite server as well)...

It's quite easy - we just unmounted the storage from one server and mounted it on the new server.

We didn't even have to upgrade client Ignite software...just update the new server name.

Rgds...Geoff

Shalom,

The above is correct, but you must follow the procedures for building a Ignite image for versions of the OS. There must be a copy of the core 11.11 OS swcopied into the Ignite respository, smilar to the procedure used to build Golden Images.
