I've got a 4100 server running du 4.0d. It currently has an ESA10000
(ESA#1) cabinet fully populated with 9GB drives. I now have another
ESA10000 (ESA#2) fully populated with 18GB drives. I have successfully
created the raidsets on the new ESA.
I want to move the data from ESA#1 to ESA#2. Once ESA#1 is no longer
needed, I'll replace those 9GB drives with 18 and 36 GB drives and repeat
the process on another server.
My basic thought process is as follows.
Shutdown server.
Install KZPBA controller.
Attach ESA#2 to KZPBA
Boot to single user mode.
Configure ESA#2 for LSM (duplicating ESA#1 configuration) and create AdvFS
file system (with similar naming convention as ESA#1)
Mount new AdvFS domain as /temp
Copy files from /data1 to /temp using following command
vdump -0f - /data1 | vrestore -xf - -D /temp
Modify fstab file to mount new filesystem to old filesystem mount point.
Reboot and verify the server is operational.
Can anyone think of anything that I am overlooking? Anything I need to
watch out for?
Thanks in advance.
