Unix Server Migration !

Hello Gurus,

All of you might have done tonnes of unix server and application migration.

Is there a checklist to follow on while doing the same?

Does any one have list of commands checklist as well for server migration?

Fo eg:

To check size of the filesystem
To check the DB volume and corresponding size.
To check file access permissions.

and so on.

I would like to have for AIX and Sun Solaris.

Regards.
Hari.

The check list would usually do with seeing what the current requirements/usage of the current file system and based on that information you spec out what you would need for the newer one.

If you already have the new server, the check list basically to do what you can with what you got.

Hello Arnold,

I already have a checklist but not complete. This tells me what i need to look for and not to miss out. I was asking on that sense. The specifics of the environemnt goes out as extra ones. This is a generic one that we need to take care for any migration transfer.

from windows to unix?
from old version to new version?

You have to make sure that any custom applications you have will work on the new one i.e. kernel changes, library changes etc. may require that you recompile the application on the new server.
Also making sure that what you use can work under the newer system.
