MOVING TO NEW SERVER

[uncle_al]

At least on my part, I didn't notice a thing.

Smooooooth...

Other than a bump or two, all is done and things should be snappy.

Having moved, and participated in moving, a number of servers, we've always
used dump/restore to move files over.  I tried rsync once, and it works just
fine *so long as you don't need to maintain the last access time* on the
files you're rsync'ing.

Depending on the partitions that need to be moved over (i.e. if /var/mail is
mounted on its own), it can be easier to pop the old drive into the new
system, and do a 'dump -0af - <old drive mount path> | restore -rf -' in the
directory you want to restore into.

the Northwind database on SQL 2000 Server is moved to SQL 2005 server using Enterprise Manager on SQL 2000 Server to detach the database and the SQL Server Management Studio to attach the database. The steps involved are described and illustrated with screen shots of relevant windows of interaction.

I, for one, hope that the move goes smoothly, and no undue problems rear their less-than-attractive heads.

This coming week, Script Nurse will be moving mid-week to a new server in an effort to improve site responsiveness. There WILL be times when the site will not be available, but it is hoped that this will be of very short duration and that it will go smoothly.
