Migrating XRAID to Leopard Server

I have several XRAIDs that are connected to a Tiger G5 Xserve via a Sanbox fiber channel switch that I need to migrate to an Intel Xserve (2008) running Leopard (using the same switch). The XRAIDs are RAID5 configurations (no LUN masking). Has anyone else had to migrate XRAIDs that were setup with Tiger server to a Leopard server? Are there any issues with just shutting down the Tiger server, detaching it from the switch, firing up the leopard server, attaching it to the switch, and serving up the shares via Leopard? There shouldn't be any need to reformat the XRAIDs, correct?

You're correct - this is a no-brainer (just unplug and reconnect).
The only issue you may have is if you're using any kind of LUN masking or zoning in your switch, but it doesn't sound like that's the case. Even if you were the worst case would be the drive not appearing on the new machine until you updated the LUN mask/zoning map.

  • Complications migrating from Snow Leopard Server to Mountain Lion Server.

    I'm migrating from Snow Leopard Server to Mountain Lion Server. The article "OS X Server: Upgrade and migration" (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5381) says
    "Make sure that any DNS or DHCP servers on which your server depends remain running during the upgrade"
    This advice is reinforced by the details of the article "OS X Server: Steps to take before upgrading or migrating the Open Directory database" (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5300).
    As the server I'm migrating from provides these services it will need to be running during the migration process. This would seem to limit my options to doing the migration from a Time Machine backup (or, making a seperate clone of the server's drive and connecting it externally to the new box)
    My main concern is the seemingly inevitable clash that is going to occur on the network as the new server takes on the roles of the old one - while it is still running.
    What are my options here ?
    This is my second attempt as on my first try I did the migration from the TM backup with the network down - and none of my local network users or their home directories were migrated, although the settings for the mount points were, but there were no actual directories where they pointed to!
    Clear directions on how to procede would be VERY MUCH appreciated
    Thank you.

    Moving from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion means first installing the client (non-Server) version of Mountain Lion and then install Server.app this means that for at least part of the process you will not be running DNS, DHCP or Open Directory.
    If you are going to end up using the same DNS name and IP address after the change then an approach you could follow would be as follows.
    Destroy any Open Directory replicas
    Archive your Open Directory Master (to make a backup)
    Note down your DNS records in case they get messed up
    Export via Workgroup Manager your users, and groups (you might not need this but better safe than sorry), make sure you do not include the diradmin account
    Keep a full back of the server (you should always have backups)
    Note down your DHCP server settings in case they get messed up
    Note down any other service settings
    Install Mountain Lion
    Install Server.app
    Install Workgroup Manager (extra free download)
    Run Server.app
    Make sure settings for services are as much as possible the same as before
    If your lucky that may be all you need to do, otherwise...
    Restore Open Directory archive, if your lucky that will be all you need to do, otherwise...
    Make new Open Directory Master
    Run Workgroup Manager
    Import users and groups you previously exported
    You will then have to set passwords for each user as these are not preserved via Workgroup Manager export
    When I did this, I was also being forced to change all my IP addresses so I had no choice but to use Workgroup Manager to export and import accounts.

  • Please help, After mac 10.5.8 mail server migrated to snow leopard server?

    Hi,
    All my old emails date has changed to the date on which i migrated to snow leopard server, all the old emails show as they arrived on 31st of Dec 2009.
    How do I fix it. Very Very important to me to have the arrived date.
    Please help
    Thanks,
    Gulab Pasha

    here is a link of other users having wrong date problems after upgrading to 10.6
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2134525
    Some people have managed to fix their date problems. The easiest workaround is to add the column "Date Sent" under (View->Columns->Date Sent) in mail.app and to sort by the send date not the received date.
    Hope this helps

    Did you turn on the Printer Sharing in the "Share" preferences panel?
    And, for Windows computers to access your printer, they need to install "Bonjour for Windows", which is a part of the iTunes+Quicktime install package, I believe.
    Alternatively, you can turn on SMB sharing on your Mac, which is also in the "Share" preferences panel. You first highlight and turn on "File Sharing", then there is an "Options..." button to the right, clicke it and check the checkbox of "Share files and folder via SMB (Windows)".

  • Migrating wiki from Leopard Server (10.5) to Lion Server

    Is there any way to migrate Wiki Server data from Leopard Server (i.e. 10.5 not 10.6) to Lion Server without upgrading to Snow Leopard first. I'm happy to set up everything else afresh but I've migrated wiki data before and it was a nightmare.
    The situation we'll soon be in is needing to migrate wiki data on a PowerPC mac running Leopard Server to a new Power Mac pre-installed with Lion Server.

    From: http://images.apple.com/macosx/server/docs/Upgrading_and_Migrating_v10.7.pdf
    Need to set up Lion Server first, then:
    Copy the wiki data located in /Library/Collaboration/ by default or in the location specified in Server Admin on the v10.5.8 or later server to a local volume Lion Server can access.
    Use the following steps to manually migrate your Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later server’s Wiki data to Lion Server.
    If you are migrating a v10.5.8 wiki server’s data, make sure Lion Server is bound to the same Open Directory master as the v10.5.8 server, so the ACLs for wikis can convert. If not, wikis are only readable or writeable by admins, and ACLs must be reset.
    To migrate wiki data:
    1 Start Wiki service in the Server app.
    2 Enter the following command.
    sudo wikiadmin migrate -r /path/to/collaboration/folder

  • Migrate existing snow leopard server to unlimited licenses

    Bought an unlimited client license os x server s/w to upgrade an existing 10 license os x server that is patched to 10.6.5.
    Do I need to re-install or can I just enter the new serial number somewhere?
    Thanks!

    If you are asking whether Mac OS X Server is separately packaged and separately installed from Mac OS X, yes. That's correct.
    You can generally load Mac OS X Server onto a Mac OS X client system to convert the box (make a backup first), though it's usually best to start with a clean install, and load in what you're interested in (usually the user directories), as this gets the new environment and the ownerships established without regard to the existing configuration.
    The [Mac OS X Server documentation|http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/documentation.html] includes installation-related materials.
    The expected configuration order: get the IP network going, then make absolutely and completely certain DNS is correct (do not skip this!), then get Open Directory going, then Kerberos, then get the rest of the show going as and if needed.

  • Migrating from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion Server

    Hi all.  I kinda drop in and out of this forum, mostly when I've got a puzzler that I can't figure out.  My journey from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion was a little slow.  I tried to make the transition from Snow Leopard to Lion and failed, but this time I made it and I thought I'd share a little scratchpad post I wrote to document what I did.  Mostly this is about adding back a few things that I really need.  Here's the list of stuff that I added back:
    Firewall management (IceFloor)
    MySQL
    Webmail, email filtering rules and email aliases (RoundCube)
    "Group" emails (short, multi-recipient email exploders)
    Mailing lists (Mailman)
    I also dramatically improved reliability by adding a lot of memory, and doing nightly-restarts of the machine.
    Here's a link to the post
         http://www.haven2.com/index.php/archives/migrating-from-snow-leopard-server-to-o sx-server-mountain-lion
    I'm happy to report that the new server has been running for a month or so and all seems fine.  Whew.  A long journey.  Thanks to all of you who posted things that helped me along the way.  Hopefully this will return the favor.

    Moving from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion means first installing the client (non-Server) version of Mountain Lion and then install Server.app this means that for at least part of the process you will not be running DNS, DHCP or Open Directory.

  • Migrating from Tiger to Leopard Server

    Hi,
    I'm running two Mac Mini OS X Servers. One running Tiger and one running Leopard.
    All my virtual hosting is done on the Tiger server.
    I want to move everything over to the Leopard server, upgrade Tiger to Leopard (clean build) and then share accounts and sites between the two.
    I guess I'm probably going to have to go down the Open Directory route - is that correct?
    Does anyone have any good pointers of where to start this migration? Can it be done?
    Any input gratefully accepted.
    Cheers,
    Stu

    Done it the hard way.

  • Migration from Windows Small Business Server 2003 to Snow Leopard Server

    Hello,
    I'm going to migrate a Windows Small Business Server 2003 Standard to a Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server 10.6.x in a few weeks.
    I have 2 questions :
    Is there an official process to migrate my Exchange server datas ?
    Snow Leopard Server has it Wizards to help me to muigrate datas to proper services ?
    Thanx
    Regards,
    Gil DERENNE aka --( dB )--

    Thank you for your reply
    My network will be Apple only in a few time (1 server, 1 iMac and 1 Mac Pro).
    Now, I want to replace server and all services installed on it :
    - Active Directory (replaced by Open Directory)
    - Users/Groups/machines
    - NAT/Firewall and Backup (will be replaced by a Time Capsule)
    - VPN for mobile access
    - File and Printer sharing
    - Fax Services with Fax/Modem 56K !oops! (replaced by a free service offer by my ISP)
    - Mail/Calendar/Address book and notes with Exchange (replaced by each service to serv right thing : Mail, iCal, Address book...).
    I know what to do with all things but not for replacing Exchange and transfer datas to each similar service in Snow Leopard.
    In the network, Mail Server will be used by Outlook with IMAP protocol and other services by web interface (Windows computers are not a problem for me, it can be alone and only access web if necessary).
    The number of clients inside the LAN :
    - 2 iPhones
    - 1 iPod Touch
    - 1 PC Windows Vista (for a few time) with some VM (Linux and Windows)
    - 1 iMac 27' with 1 VM (Windows)
    - 1 LAN Printer HP Deskjet 6127 (RJ45 Static IP connection)
    The number of clients outside the LAN :
    - 3 PC Windows XP
    - 2 PC Windows Vista
    - 5 Nokia Smart Phones
    When I'm going to by the Mac Mini Server with Snow Leopard Server, is there some support to help me to do it whith them and is it free or do I have to buy AppleCare to access to this service ?

  • How to best migrate Leopard server accounts to Leopard server?

    Hi All. I have a "sandbox" stand alone Leopard server on a Mac mini. Now I am ready to move/migrate the accounts and (hopefully) sharepoints and preserve the POSIX and ACLs? Is this monumental? Both are 10.5.2 versions of the server. If this is not too complex then great, but I need (at the very least) to move the accounts and sharepoints. The accounts are simply accounts, not mobile accounts or even with home folders on the server. The users have a shared volume and each their own folder/directory within that. Both servers are set up as "stand alone" file servers at this time.I have only read that a "back up and restore" method is recommended. There isn't much posted on this and I am not a server or network specialist. Thanks for any suggestions on this move. J Langlois

    Kia ora,
    Have you had any joy doing this yet. I have 10.5.2 server on a dual G4 and now want to transfer the whole kit and caboodle over to a new intel imac, what needs to be done?
    regards

  • Help - Migrating from Tiger to Leopard Server via Apple Maintenance Program

    Hi, I'm to upgrade an Apple Xserve running Mac OS Tiger to Leopard. There was an Apple Maintenance Program purchased for this Xserve. I plan to do a clean install on the server, however, I don't know where to find Leopard's serial number or if I need one or if I can do a clean install via AMP.
    This was the first AMP sold in my country I think and the VAR was a little clueless, it wasn't our plan to upgrade until now and I don't know who to ask.
    I have the media, but it wasn't the one that apple sent, the VAR just made me a copy of a Leopard Server. I have the license program agreement, there it is stated the License Number (amp - xx -xxxxx format), the License Date, the Sales Order # and something label PO.
    Could somebody please point me out how should I proceed? The server is being moved from its intended use so a clean install is no problem (and prefered).
    Thanks in advance
    Rafael

    You should get the media directly from Apple complete with "xsvr-"serialnumber in an envelope in the (snail-)mail.
    We have customers which didn't get the serial or DVD in the envelope so we had to contact Apple again.

  • Error configuring services from Snow Leopard Server to Mountain Lion Server

    I am trying to upgrade a Snow Leopard Server Mac Mini to Mountain Lion Server.
    We have two Mac Mini servers at our office (production and backup) so I migrated the everything from our production server to the backup using the migration assistant when setting up the backup computer.
    I now have the backup at home trying to upgrade it to Mountain Lion Server.  I have downloaded and installed Mountain Lion as well as the Server App version 2.2.  I basically followed the simple directions found in the Apple documentation.
    I started the server app and it got to the part where it said "Upgrading services".  After running for a few minutes, I get a window that states "An error occurred while configuring your server."  It also sayd "The following actions failed or were not attempted:" with a red dot next to "Upgrading services".  The other three items:  "Authenticating to local directory", "Reading directory configuration" and "Authenticating to local directory services" have gray dots so I'm sure they were not even attempted.
    Our Snow Leopard server is setup for SMB file sharing, LDAP services, FTP, Web, DNS, DHCP.
    Can someone point me to where I can figure out what exactly is failing?  Are there specific log files I need to look into?
    Thanks

    Have EXACTLY the same issue - also tried reinstalling mountain lion server fresh and still had the same problem...
