Migration from 10.5.8 in PPC to new server on 10.6.x

Hi,
Currently running 10.5.8 server on a ppc Mac. Looking, at moving to 10.6.x which will thus require new hardware.
Problem is the existing server has a valid externally signed SSL cert. for Web and email and is the domain master for the OD.
If this was a desktop I'd boot the existing box up in target mode and then migrate then upgrade, but I get the feeling the cert. and the Open Directory suff is going to really object to that.
Anyone go any thoughts on how easy this is going to be? I'm guessing new cert. will be required, then moving the clients to new mail server......

To start programming, you can use Mac OS X 10.5.8 and an old Xcode version if you don't want to upgrade now. With this, you will get a first look into the OS X and iPhone OS environment.
However, respecting to iOS programming, I recommend you to upgrade to, at least, Mountain Lion if you can. OS X Mountain Lion needs a Late 2008 Aluminum MacBook or an Early 2009 MacBook, so if you haven't got one of them, you can't upgrade to Mountain Lion.
First, buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard# Make a backup of your files, insert the DVD and upgrade. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install 10.6.8.
Now, if you want, you can upgrade to Lion, if your computer isn't compatible with Mountain Lion. Lion will allow you to use the most recent Xcode version, so you can have a look at programming for the most recent iOS version, which is really useful because you can learn how to create apps for the new iOS 6 features, and if you are a registered developer, you can get access to iOS 7 beta and prepare your apps

Migration from XI R2 to Xi R3 and new server box

Hi,
We are planning to migrate to a new server and on that new server, we will install BO XI R3. We have the following issues:
1. All our users have bookmarked the XI R2 address in their browser. How can we transparently forward them to the new server. Can we do it with DNS forwarding?
2. Even we can forward to the XI R3 login page, but how can we keep running our existing Xcelsius Dashboards. The Xcelsius dashboards get refreshed using live office and the live office model points to XI R2 reports. Do we need to update the model for each of the dashboards to point to the new server?
Please let us know if anyone has any suggestion/experience.
Regards,
Tanveer.

My suggestion/experience is you will want to have access to both XIR2 and 3.0 during the migration.
A migration is one of the more complicated tasks and there could be unforseen obstacles.
In theory you should be able to migrate most or all of your XIR2 to 3.0 and then give out a new link to allow others to test. At the same time you leave XIR2 and the old links available in case issues arise you will have a backup.
Live office should be able to be redirected to 3.0 there is a legacy support built in for this (dswsbobje).
The final goal of course is to migrate everything to 3.0 and stop using the XIR2
There are many consultants both within BO/and 3rd party that can help plan a migration.
You should also have the support of the BO deployment team if migration issues should arrise.
Regards,
Tim

What cable do I need for a full migration from a 2011 MacBook Pro to a new current one-wireless migration way too slow.?

What cable do I need for a full migration from a 2011 MacBook Pro to a new current one-wireless migration way too slow.?

All you need is an Ethernet cable.
Just plug it into both machines. Don't bother with a crossover cable, just a plain old Ethernet cable will do. The Ethernet ports on the Macs are smart and will adjust appropriately.

MIGRATE FROM A POWER PC G5 TO A NEW IMAC - PROGRAMS & FILE - POSSIBLE?

I recall when I migrated from a Windows machine to a MAC years back I was able to move programs & files via (probably at that time) USB.
I want to buy a new IMAC & move everything from a 4 year old Power PC G5 without having to reinstall all programs &/or manually drag & drop files.
Is this posisble?
I do have a LaCie HardDrive & have been using SuperDuper to back up everything since I had problems with ths machine months ago but I do admit I have cut down on this as I have over 700,000 files and the backups take hours & really slow machine down. Plus I notice the LaCie drive turns on even when it is not set up to do a back-up.
But mostly want to know fastest way to get everything form one machine to a new one.
There's software I have downloaded or can't find.
Thanks.

You can use Migration Assistant which will come with your new machine, or you can use an ethernet cable and drag and drop what you need, or you can reverse clone from your SuperDuper backup.

Migration from 10.4.11 to 10.5.1 Server

I just upgraded a OD Master from 10.4.11 to 10.5.1 everything was installed and did a reboot.
After the reboot it was hang at license screen where you need to enter the serial number to upgrade the server. I did a restart and after entering serial number the server was not "UPGRADED" it ask me to setup new server. I choose standalone and IP and services was up except for ker and ldap was not running. I did a repair permission and restart now the server is working as i can ssh in but i am struck at a blue screen after entering root and password.
Please help

Since you can ssh in, look at the /var/log/system.log for problems.
Kerberos and LDAP may not be running because of DNS problems. Did you use the same IP address and hostname as before the upgrade?
Since LDAP is not running, is there any local user accounts you can use to access the server through the GUI?

Migrating CA but CA role was already on new server. Whats the worst that can happen?

Here's a little background for this migration.
Old environment was SBS 2008. Everything baked into one server.
New environment we are migrating to is Server 2012 R2. Will have 8 different 2012 r2 VMs varied by roles. Since this is a small network we are putting the CA on the DC (Called NewDC1).
NewDC1 was configured to mirror the old servers Active Directory, etc. BUT NewDC1 when installed was given the AD CS role as well. From everything I've read it says to backup all settings on the old CA, decommission the old server then install the ADCS
role on the new one and restore the backed up files.
BUT since we already have the ADCS role on the new DC. Should I go ahead and uninstall it. Proceed with the steps to backup and uninstall the exchange server role on the old(not decommission the server since we still need it up to decommission the dc correctly).
Then re-install the role on the new server? Also what issue would you run into with the server not being the same name since that's not even a option?

Is the role installed and ADCS configured as a CA on the new server? In 2012, the role install and configuration process are broken into two separate phases. So if its just installed and not configured, then there's no issue. If however its already been
configured as a CA and it has issued certificates, then anything you have issued from it will be invalidated after the migration.
For the migration itself, since you are renaming the computer that the CA is running on you DEFINITELY want to review the migration process - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee126170(v=WS.10).aspx. There are several steps you will need to
perform otherwise the CA will not work properly on the destination server.
Lastly, it is NEVER recommended to put the CA on a DC. Too hard to migrate or manage the domain, let alone security issues. I would recommend putting it on a dedicated member server, or if you must, at least one that isnt a DC.

Migration process...can't login to new server

Hello all,
I am on page 30 of the migration process where I need to login into the new
server running the NSMEngine. I put in a username and password, like I had
before...and it just hangs.
I read where it said that I may have to be a member of the NSMAdmins
group...there isn't any such group in eDirectory. I have migrated my
policies over and don't want to remove or reinstall anything for fear of
losing my policies.
Any thoughts?
Tom

Tom,
I need more information if I am going to be of assistance.
I need to know what version and platform your running.
thanks,
NSM Development

How to migrate from my old MacBook Pro to a new one with less disk space and an external hard drive?

I have just bought a new MacBook Pro and an external hard drive.
Yet I have problems migrating data from my old MacBook Pro (more internal disk space with around 500 GB data) to my new one (internal disk space less than 500 GB).
I have connected all 3 devices but it seems the Migration Assistant does not have an option for us to select to migrate to an external hard drive.
Any other way to do it?
Kindly help me. Thanks.

For your situation, Target disk mode may be the most efficient method:

Migrating from a Plam T E2 to a 'New' Palm T E2 ?

Ok - working on another plan . . . I have several reconditioned Palm Tungston E2's that I bought off Amazon . . . and am having trouble syncing to the 'new' Palm. The Palms are the exact same hardware - all Tungston E2's.
The instructions on the HP/Palm web site say to install the software that came with the handheld 'because the E2 has code that the handheld needs' or something to that effect. I don't know if that's the 'specific hand held' or the T E2 series. I did it with one unit several months ago and it worked but was a lot of gymnastics.
I tried it again, to migrate to yet a 'newer' handheld and could not get it to work - and nor would my 'current' one sync anymore either - on a Vista PC. However, I hooked the 'current one up via USB to my old XP PC which had at least year-old data left on it and it sync'd beautifully!
Can anyone tell me if I have to re-install the software from the disk - really? OR could I just do a 'Desktop Overwrites Handheld" to the newer handheld? One thing . . . maybe I have to run the disk in order to put the user name on the new hand held. I tried that (on he Vista) & after a couple of times not working the software would not even let me access the 'hardware set up' section to name the new hand held. And the new handheld did not get the user name added to it and it would no longer even connect with the Vista.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I would love to just uninstall everything on the desktop & reinstall Palm Desktop 6.22 from the HP web site & start over . . . & do a hand held overwrites desktop . . but I'm not sure if this will work either.
I guess my real preference at this point would be to run the old Windows XP machine I have so I can use Documents To Go Version 8 (which works with the T E2) and with the Palm Desktop (and of course Pimlical's DateBook 6). But I need to get my user name & data onto the 'new' E2. I have the mose current Palm Desktop aready on this XP machine. Again, I have followed instructions from the HP website to do just this on the Vista . . . but there is something (that I am) missing!
Thanks in advance for help!! Deb

Migrating from 7.x to 8.1 with parallel server options.

Hi
I have been working on one of the world's largest ORACLE installations. The applications for the users are built on Cool:Gen, ORACLE 7.x database running on HP-UNIX 10.
Brief of the erstwhile architecture.
The business called for the management of 19M gas meter points in all aspects, from siteworks/address admin to invoicing. The volume of the database was so large that the entire application systems was distributed into 8 partitions of sites and meters, 1 parttion for invoicing, 1 for core jobs and 1 for common. Each parttion being a separate instance of 7.x database running on HP-UNIX 10. Every instance of the databse communicated with each other via one or more database links. The requirement from the business is that the daily jobs alongwith special + adhoc jobs fit within a single day. The jobs are monitored through ECS (Scheduler). Also, in a 24 hour cycle, the database had a backup cycle (essentially down time for applications) time of 3 hours. Also, external updates from sites are done for 3 hours in the morning during which no user job could be run.
Problem :
Of late, the client decided to migrate to Cool:Gen ver 5.0, ORACLE 8.1, and HP-UNIX ver 11, all running on 3 V-class servers, with load balancing between the three servers.One server will be dedicated for handling the 8 partitions of sites and meters, one for Invoicing and the third for other anciliary systems.
Upgradation of the earlier system to the new one called for removing all databse links, and other parttion dependent code from the SQLs and make some necessary changes in the Cool:Gen code. However, not all of the code required changes.
The problem is, that the code which performed 100% within the Gas Flow Day when put into the new consolidated environment (all partitions put together)running on V-Class servers, completely fails to perform. So much so, that the code that ran for about 3-4 hours on production earlier now takes no less than 38-40 hours. Had it been the case with few of the code, it could be believed that the problem was with the individual codes. But in this case, it has been found that majority of the jobs are hitting the acceptable performance barrier. This clearly puts that there is a global solution to this and something where things have gone fundamentally wrong.
Can some one please help.
P.S. : Tips on ORACLE 8 parallel server installation and tuning will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards

HI,
If any of the Route Point is in Disabled state (done from the UCCX side) you will see this CM Telephony going to Partial service. For a test purpose try enabling all the Route points from UCCX and restart the CTI Manager service from CUCM, you will witness the CM Telephony service coming to normal In_Service state.

Cannot use Migration Assistant to migrate from a Time Machine backup to a new Mac.

I have a supposedly valid Time Machine backup for both of the MacBook Pro's we have (had). My wifes is Pro is working but mine died. I am replacing it with a MacBook Air. Following the steps, I tried to Migrate all my Pro files and apps from a TM backup using the Migration Assistant but it stops at 'Looking for source' and never gets past this.
I have confirmed the wife's back up is valid using 'Enter Time Machine'. However, on that same Mac Pro, if I use the Migration Assistant, it does not find the hard drive, once again , getting stuck at 'Looking for source just like on the Mac Air.
I went back to BestBuy where I bought the Air and worked with the Apple Rep. He tried it himself on a Mac Pro they had in the store and got the same results.
We called this into MyApple and after elevating this to the next level, they still cannot explain it.
I have used this feature in the past prior to upgrading to Mavericks so I am wondering if the fault is there?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dave

I may have solved this (partly). A search reveal A LOT of peoplel having the same issue. One solution put forward was that the Time Machine backups were not complete. I noticed in mine, non of the backups for a quite a while have no Applications or System files backup. The solution was to do a TM reset. I did that and ran a new backup of the one MacBook Pro that is still working. After it was complete, the backup had the Applications and System data in it. I was able to open the Migration ssistant and it found the drive.
Now I just have to hope that the repair shop can salvage my malfuncitoning MB Pro so I can solve the main issue either by Migrating fromht MB Pro or make a new back up of the MB Pro after TM reset and use that for the migration. Won't till tomorrow (hopefully).

Best way to migrate from Imac 2 GHz core duo to new imac

Am upgrading from a 6 yo iMac running 10.6.8 to the latest and greatest. Old machine still running and fully backed-up via time capsule to an external hard drive. What's best (cleanest) way to transfer. Some of the older software (Microsoft Office X) will not be needed.
Thanks.

Just upgraded from a late 2006 Core2Duo iMac to a 2011 21.5" iMac using migration assistant over Ethernet. Smooth as silk. Don't trust the status bars telling you how much time you have left, they lie. Once you start it, walk away and come back in a few hours, or let it run either overnight or while you're at work so you're not obsessing over it the whole time.
You may need to re-enter license keys, etc, for some software, but I did not. Office 2011, VMWare, etc. all came over fully intact and usable.

HT4889 I just complete a migration from my Mac Book Pro to my new Mac Book Pro but none of the files on my desktop appear anywhere. Suggestions please.

I have just completed a lengthy migration of all my files from an old Mac Book Pro to my new Mac Book Pro and I find that none of my files on my desktop have been transferred. So, I do not have the confidence that all my files have been transferred. What did I do wrong and what can I do to fix this matter. Sugggestions welcome. Thanks

Open the Users folder, drag the migrated home folder to the desktop, provide your administrator password, and retrieve the files from there. If desired, you can then use the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences to delete the migrated account. This can be done in reverse if you only want the migrated account.
