Migrating ZFH Server to new hardware.

I need to migrate our ZFH server to a new box. Its currently on a box that
is slowly dying. I can re-install ZFH on a new box with the same name and
IP address but how do I migrate the database and GUID info. Currently this
ZFH server has collected over 3000 handhelds from over 120 schools with
1000's of PC's running zfhproxy. Re-installing the proxy is not an option
at this point. Please help.

Is ZfH using MS SQL, or the build-in database ???

How to migrate os x server to new hardware

I am looking for the quickest easiest way to migrate OS X server to new hardware that I purchased. I currently have both DHCP and DNS services actively running. I have VPN services running when needed.

Reid,
Thanks for your response. I actually migrated everything that I needed over about an hour after I posted. For DNS I simply copied all of the zone files in /Library/Server/named and restarted the DNS service. DHCP took a little more investigation as I had to find where the configuration file was being stored. I eventually found the configuration in /etc/bootpd.plist file that contains all of the DHCP info and copied it over to the new system. Once I restarted all services everything was working fine.
I took this approach rather than a direct cloning as I wanted a clean install of everything on the target system. Also, as I mentioned before, I didn't have many services running that I needed to have running on the new configuration. The VPN services that I was running had only one test user so recreating it from scratch was a non-issue.

André

Migrate SBS 2008 to new hardware

We have an SBS 2008 installation and are testing a disaster recovery solution by re-installing in Migration Mode.
Step 5 in the migration document from Microsoft discusses;
Demote and remove the Source Server from the network
We'd like to fully test this and get the backup box up and running before signing it off as a working solution.
Our concern is that, even if we isolate the test machine on a difference subnet from our production LAN, there is some kind of licensing consequence for our running box - via some kind of de-activation signal sent over the net, perhaps - should we continue
through the final steps.
Can anyone confirm or deny whether any kind of de-activation occurs? Perhaps paranoia, but thought best to check since we really can't have our live systems shut down.

Hi,
Before going further, would you please provide more detailed information about your concern? It’s difficult to understand your needs for me with the information you mentioned. For details about
how to migrate SBS 2008 to new hardware, please refer to the following articles.

Move / Migrate A Managment Server to New Hardware

I want to move / migrate my existing SCOM 2012 SP1 Management Servers to new hardware running Server 2012 R2. We're going to leave the DBs where they are for now.
It looks like I could just 'add' a new Management Server and then remove the older ones. Is it that simple?
Orange County District Attorney

HI,
1. Install a new Management server in your management group.
2, Move all SCOM agents from old MS to new management server.
3. Move if there is any dependencyes on old MS to new MS (Like Exchange corelation engine serivce on MS for Exchange 2010 MP / Proxying for web application monitoring/ SMTP relay for SCOM email notification etc)
4. properly uninstall Old MS to avoid issues (if not objects will left in resource pools)

Migrate (N)AMP server to new hardware

Hi,
I have been looking for documentation on how to move an AMP configuration to
new hardware (practically same OS-install, NW65SP7).
Is there any info around 'cause I wasn't able to find any. And before I
start dumping MySQL databases and Apache virtual hosts, I thought i'd ask
here.
On the origin server, webcontent and SQL db are placed on different volumes
than SYS. I looked at MigrationWizard as well, but my replacement server is
already in the same tree (new name).
Any info, links or directions, appreciated.
Regards,
Marcel

BakxM,

I'd transfer the database and adjust Apache and PHP settings manually.

Methods for migrating existing servers to new hardware

I have 10 Solaris 8 and 9 boxes (SF4800 and V480). We are moving these to new hardware (V490 and V440).
All have mirrored boot disks, some using VxVM and some using SDS. All are connected to SAN storage (Sun 3900 and EMC).
I am looking for the easiest, simplest and least risky method to migrate.
Possible methods:
1) Pull boot disk from existing server, move to new server. Issues: drive compatibility between old and new servers.
2) Flasharchive to NFS server, install new servers from flash image. Issues: SDS/VxVM encapsulation?, old server Solaris versions do not support new server hardware.
3) Break boot disk mirrors, Live upgrade to latest Solaris 9 on this disk, then Flasharchive this image to NFS server. Issues: none that I can think of.
Any input/ideas are appreciated.

Hi,
I am not an expert in Portal Migrations but I would suggest you to do a homogenous system copy, then restore it on SLES10 32-bit and then migrate it to 64 bit. But you need to do a fair amount of homework before you carry out this exercise.
Even if you are not touching the database, I would suggest going for a homogenous system copy. The reason being, there are some database related files stored on Portal server and whenever you restart the Portal server, it's gonna check the timestamps there with the ones available on DB. We ran with a problem once doing the same. We were using Oracle then.
Secondly, before taking a decision to move over to 64-bit, I would suggest you to check the PAM and have a look whether all the portal components are supported or not. We had a problem with HP-IA64 bit because we finally found out that it doesn't support Adobe Document Services. So things like these need to be thought over and confirmed before stepping forward.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Sunil

When deploying a single server on new hardware, do you virtualize it or not?

There are a few questions that I've found on ServerFault that hint around this topic, and while it may be somewhat opinion-based, I think it can fall into that "good subjective" category based on the below:
Constructive subjective questions:
* tend to have long, not short, answers
* have a constructive, fair, and impartial tone
* invite sharing experiences over opinions
* insist that opinion be backed up with facts and references
* are more than just mindless social fun
So that out of the way.
I'm helping out a fellow sysadmin that is replacing an older physical server running Windows 2003 and he's looking to not only replace the hardware but "upgrade" to 2012 R2 in the process.
In our discussions about his replacement hardware, we discussed the possibility of him installing ESXi and then making the 2012 "server" a VM and migrating the old apps/files/roles from the 2003 server to the VM instead of to a non-VM
install on the new hardware.
He doesn't perceive any time in the next few years the need to move anything else to a VM or create additional VMs, so in the end this will either be new hardware running a normal install or new hardware running a single VM on ESXi.
My own experience would lean towards a VM still, there isn't a truly compelling reason to do so other than possibilities that may arise to create additional VMs. But there is the additional overhead and management aspect of the hypervisor now, albeit
I have experienced better management capabilities and reporting capabilities with a VM.
So with the premise of hoping this can stay in the "good subjective" category to help others in the future,what
experiences/facts/references/constructive answers do you have to help support either outcome (virtualizing or not a single "server")?

In the general case, the advantage of putting a standalone server on a hypervisor is future-proofing. It makes future expansion or upgrades much easier, much faster, and as a result, cheaper. The primary drawback is additional complexity and cost (not necessarily
financially, but from a man-hours and time perspective).
So, to come to a decision, I ask myself three questions (and usually prefer to put the server on a hypervisor, for what it's worth).
How big is the added cost of the hypervisor?
Financially, it's usually minimal or non-existent.
Both VMware and Microsoft have licensing options that allow you to run a host and a single guest for free, and this is sufficient for most standalone servers, exceptions generally being servers that are especially resource-intensive.
From a management and resource standpoint, determining cost can be a bit trickier.
You basically double the cost of maintaining the system, because now you have two systems to monitor, manage and keep up-to-date with patches and updates (the guest OS and the host OS).
For most uses, this is not a big deal, as it's not terribly taxing to maintain one server, though for some especially small or especially technically challenged organizations, this can be a real concern.
You also add to the technical skills required. Now, instead of just needing someone who can download updates from Windows Update, you need someone who knows enough to manage and maintain the virtualization environment.
Again, not usually a problem, but sometimes, it's more than an organization can handle.
How big is the benefit from ease-of upgrade or expansion?
This boils down to how likely future expansion is, because obviously, if they don't expand or upgrade their server assets, this benefit is zero.
If this is the type of organization that's just going to stuff the server in a corner and forget about it for 10 years until it needs to be replaced anyway, there's no point.
If they're likely to grow organizationally, or even just technically (by say adding new servers with different roles, instead of just having an all-in-one server), then this provides a fairly substantial benefit.
What's the benefit now?
Virtualization bring benefits beyond future-proofing, and in some use-cases, they can be substantial.
The most obvious one is the ability to create snapshots and trivial-to-restore backups before doing something on the system, so if it goes bad, you can revert in one click.
The ability to experiment with other VMs (and play the "what if" game) is another one I've seen management get excited about. For my money, though, the biggest benefit is the added portability you get from running a production server on a hypervisor. If something
goes really wrong and you get yourself into a disaster-recovery or restore-from-backups situation, it is almost infinitely easier to restore a disk image to a machine running the same hypervisor than trying to do a bare-metal restore.

Move existing Exchange 2010 server to new hardware and reinstalling Exchange 2010

Hi so as the title states I need to Install Exchange 2010 on a brand new 2008R2 Server and transfer everything from the old Exchange Server.
Couple things though.
Existing 2008R2 Server w/ Exchange 2010 is also a Domain Controller.
Exchange needs to be uninstalled completely once Exchange is setup and going on new hardware.
Existing 2008R2 Server needs to stay up and stay a domain controller.
Questions are how do I go about this step by step?
Am I going to have problems uninstalling Exchange from the Domain Controller? Will this mess up anything with the Schema?
Any how to guides would be great. New Server will of course have a different name than existing Domain Controller server.
Any questions let me know.
Thanks!

Hi,
Here are the steps about moving the Exchange server to a new server which isn't a domain controller:
1.Install Exchange Server on a different computer.
2.Use Move Mailbox in the Exchange Task Wizard to move any existing mailboxes from the domain controller to the new Exchange server.
3.Rehome any public folders and roles held by the old Exchange Server computer to the new Exchange Server computer.
4.Uninstall Exchange Server from the domain controller.

1) Are you on a 2008 Server? If so you will need to right click and run as administrator on the EMC/Powershell you are using.
2) Did you Prepare the Legacy Permissions when you did the new Exchange install?

Best way to migrate Oracle DB to new hardware.

Upgrading hardware from Win2003 32 bit to Win2008 R2 64 bit. Staying in the same Oracle DB 10gR2 - possibly just from 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.4. Why? Because the higher ups said so.
Any suggestions best and easiest way to migrate? I was thinking expdp of current schema and impdp in. Any opinions?

I believe the lowest release and patch set level for Win Server 2008 R2 (which is only 64-bit, by the way) is 10.2.0.5. This is documented!
Also, why 32-bit and not 64-bit, when on a 64-bit hw/os platform? Or maybe that was not the meaning of "same Oracle DB"? (Note 32-bit client connectivity with 64-bit server is fully possible)
Any suggestions best and easiest way to migrate? I was thinking expdp of current schema and impdp in. Any opinions?If schema is fairly small (or not so small and enough down time window exists), that sounds like a good way.

Migrate Installation Server to NEW Server

Hi,
i want to move our current Installtion Server to a NEW Server but i dont find any information about the procedure to do that. The old Server was a Windows 2003 R2 and the new one is Windows 2008 R2. Has somebody done this before?
Thanks
Hildwin Wonner

Hi Klaus-Georg,
Yes we run the Automatic Workstation Update Service. Thanks for your helpful reply but i have a question.
You wrote:
However in case your client PCs run the Automatic Workstation Update Service, they will still look on the old server, until they have run the first installation/update from the new one.
Do i must do a complete installation from the new Server on the Clients or is it enought to update a Package on the new Server and save them?
Or is it easier to change the Registry because i found this:
Under
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP\SAP Shared
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP\SAP Shared\SAP_WUS
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP\SAP Shared\SAPBI
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP\SAP Shared\SAPBW
a key named SAPSourceDir with the UNC Path
We use Windows 7 x64.

SBS 2008 - SBS Console and AD errors after migration to new hardware

Hi there,
I'm trying to work out how to fix some of the errors and random behaviour I'm experiencing with the SBS 2008 console and AD related matters since I had to quickly migrate SBS 2008 to new hardware using Windows Server Backup after a failure of the old server.
In my haste to get our email and ftp services back up and running (which use Smartermail and Filezilla respectively instead of Exchange etc) I overlooked the fact that the new server had 3 NICs installed and not one and so restored SBS 2008 and loaded up new
drivers for those and other hardware that had changed (such as the graphics card and mobo. I have since removed the two additional NICs by disabling them on the mobo).
Whilst I got the server up and running again with email and ftp services, even though I currently don't use any AD related stuff directly I have since noted that if I try to say view a list of users that I had previously created via the SBS console, more often
than not it will show no users, and then randomly it will (but when you do see them you can't edit or delete them. I'm aware that I have probably broken a number of golden rules in doing this 'migration' but having a metaphorical gun to my head meant that
I rushed things out of desperation.
Common errors that I experience generally will say things like 'Current security connect is not associated with an Active Directory domain or forest' if I try to list users, or DC not found for domain "xyz.local' etc. I have been searching the net and
trying out some things to fix this but I'm like a dog chasing its tail as I'm not so clued up on server related issues as I am with workstation problems, so if anyone could at least point me in the right direction I would be very grateful. If you require any
info from me (eg diag logs etc) I will be happy to provide them!
Regards,
Dave

Hi Dave,
Based on current situation, please run SBS BPA and fix all that it can find, then monitor the result. For more details, please refer to the following KB.
Windows SBS Best Practices Analyzer (BPA)
Meanwhile, please refer to the following article and repair SBS console.
Repair the Windows SBS 2008 Console
By the way, I noticed that you had got some error messages (such as: “DC not found for domain” and so on). Would you please let me know complete error messages? In addition, when you migrate SBS 2008 to the new hardware, had you done any preparation for
that Source Server? For more details, please refer to the following article.
Migrate Windows Small Business Server 2008 to New Hardware
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

Migrate user data from SLES10sp3 OES2sp3 to new hardware

Hi,
I am trying to migrate user data on a nss volume from a SLES10sp3 and
OES2sp3 server to new hardware already setup with SLES10sp3 and OES2sp3.

starting the data transfer I get a message saying the migration failed.
Below is the error from the log file:

Hi kjhurni,
I have not setup to get update from the Novell channel as I have an issue
with connecting to the update channel but I will deal with that later.
I tried to run a miggui to migrate my data to the new server with SLES10sp3
and OES2sp3. Below is the entire log file, I have highlighted the error at
the end of the log file. (Names and addresses have been changed to protect
the innocent)

Move OES11 to new hardware

I need to move current OES11 server to new hardware. The new server will need to take the identity of the current server. Has anyone tried this.

All the time. Works well (the only issues I've ever encountered lately have been with LUM repair).
My signature has my old guides of how to do it with OES2, but the screens/steps are pretty much the same for OES11.
I do suggest with OES11, that when you install the TARGET (ie, the new server), choose the CUSTOM install and then when you get to the section where you can configure the individual items, select LUM and make sure that it's NOT using the CommonProxy for LUM.
You can always change it to use CommonProxy after the fact.
And, as always have backups of the SOURCE server.

Migrate from server core 2008 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes to server core 2012 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on new san hardware

We are getting ready to migrate from server core 2008 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on an iscsi san to server core 2012 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on a new iscsi san.
I've been searching for a "best practices" article for this but have been coming up short. The information I have found either pertains to migrating from 2008 r2 to 2012 r2 with failover cluster volumes on the same hardware, or migrating
to different hardware without failover cluster volumes.
If there is anyone out there that has completed a similar migration, it would be great to hear any feedback you may have on your experiences.
Currently, my approach is as follows:
1. Configure new hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on new SAN with new 2012 r2 hostnodes and 2012 r2 management server
2. Turn off the virtual machines on old 2008 r2 hyper-v hostnodes
3. Stop the VMMS service on the 2008 r2 hostnodes
4. copy the virtual machine files and folders over to the new failover cluster volumes
5. Import vm's into server 2012 r2 hyper-v.
Any feedback on the opertain I have in mind would be helpful.
Thank you,
Rob

Hi Rob,
Yes , I agree with that "file copy " can achieve migration.
Also you can try "copy cluster wizard " :
