Re: migration

That's pretty much what we do on our Disaster Recovery exercises. We use Mksysb backups, restore the root VG, which has the INFORMIXDIR directory and all the libs etc.. and all the information about the other volume groups. Then I just relink to their raw devices and do an onbar restore. ======================== -<<Floyd Wellershaus>>- Database Administrator Unix Administrator email: fwellers@yahoo.com Home: 703-430-0805 Cell: 703-477-6045 ======================== http://www.one.org/ ----- Original Message ---- From: Darren_Jacobs@carmax.com To: "Campbell, John (GE Money)" <John.Campbell2@ge.com> Cc: informix-list-bounces@iiug.org; informix-list@iiug.org Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2006 2:53:26 PM Subject: Re: migration We have always had great success with a fbackup and a restore to the new server. We recently did this many times moving to a new data center. All I had to do is have the new datacenter create the needed raw devices, perform my links, fire off a physical restore. way too simple. peace "Campbell, John \\(GE Money\\)" <John.Campbell2@g To e.com> <informix-list@iiug.org> Sent by: cc informix-list-bou nces@iiug.org Subject migration 08/10/2006 02:08 PM 9.40.FC5 Solaris 9. We are being asked to move the database to a new server in a remote location. Should I reinstall the informix software from cd or could we just take it up with a tar or ufsdump or something and lay it down on the new server? Our desire is to move the environment exactly as is changing only those things that must be changed... thanks in advance _______________________________________________ Informix-list mailing list Informix-list@iiug.org http://www.iiug.org/mailman/listinfo/informix-list _______________________________________________ Informix-list mailing list Informix-list@iiug.org http://www.iiug.org/mailman/listinfo/informix-list
