DEC & OnLine/RDS Migration
Posted in 1997
Hi all!
Interested in receiving feedback from anyone who performed an upgrade
similar to the following:
From To
------------------ ----------------------
DEC Alpha 2100 <same>
Digital Unix 3.0b Digital Unix 4.0a
OnLine 5.x ODS 7.2x
RDS 4.1x RDS 6.x
ISQL 4.1x ISQL 6.x
To ease communication, perhaps the following response layout may be
used:

- Filesystem upgrade
- Kernel Parameter changes
- Networking
- Other problems/tips
- Server issues
- Data-migration tips/pitfalls (I'm trying to get a hold of a copy of
the Migration Manual, so details not necessary)
- Networking
- OnBar vs ontape; suggested 3rd party products to work w/ OnBar
- Other problems/tips
- Special onconfig tuning hints
- RDS issues
- Previously allowed syntax constructs that are problematic on upgrade
- New reserved words
- Undocumented problems/tips
- Other problems
- ISQL issues
- Upgrading of 4.x ACE reports
- Other problems/tips
Please post to cdi and cc to me, so that others may be enlightened.
Thanks much.
Nigel
