asked on

Move ASE 12.5.1 to a different server

I have a Sybase ASE 12.5.1 running on Solaris 8.
I need to create an identical database on another Solaris 8 server.

Question:
Can I restore all the related files to server 2 from the backup of server 1? Backup was taken after the server was shutdown. Also if this is going to work is this way supported by Sybase?

Thanks.

Thanks Bret.

I shutdown the server, so I shouldn't need to consider using quiesce command. My paths to the devices are the same, so it doesn't look like I need to use mount either.

I also don't see why it shouldn't work, but I am more concerned about doing things the supported way. For example, if I have a production problem on that server I would like to make sure Sybase will not frown upon using this method..

Please let me know if you have the answer to this.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks to both of you. I split the points evenly

Glad we could help! Since you very specifically asked for supported methods, I was conservative - but with the servers shut down, and with you editing the interfaces file to reference the second host, it will work.
