Hi Guys,
I am planing on doing some migration of our MDS. We have multiples MDS and the platforms and software version will all be the same--nothing is changing with IP addresses or configurations.
Since the platform, software version and everything will exactly be the same, I am thinking about just running MDS backup from each of the MDSs.
Build the new MDS servers with a clean installation and restore the backups on their prospective MDS.
Am I missing anything else or is there a better route to this? Anything else I need to be aware of?
Note: This is a VMware environment
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Exactly as you said.
Just create the mds_backup like this:
mdsstop; sleep 60; $CPMDIR/scripts/mds_backup -l -b -d /home/scpuser 2>/dev/null; sleep 60; mdsstart -s
scp the mds_backup file to your new VM host and perform a mds_restore
Thanks for the feedback Danny.
