OS X to OS X Server migrate/upgrade

Evenin' all,
Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere - my SearchFu hasn't turned anything up, but I'm not sure how to describe it....
I have been presented with a challenge at work: I have a late model Powermac G5 quad-core with 8GB ram which is running 10.5.6. The user now wants to run OS X server on it, but retain the Users and their data (there are three users, members of a small research team).
The usual term for this would be 'In-place Upgrade' but that's not an option from the OS X Server disc, as the version of Mac OS on the disc is 10.5.0 and the machine has 10.5.6 - and the installer doesn't let you install an older version over a newer one without re-formatting the drive. Which is sensible from an OS point of view.
I've had a play with various schemes on a guinea pig G4 Mac Mini, and found that I can use TimeMachine to help. The plan I've come up with goes as follows:
Add an external disk, and do Time Machine backups to it.
Install OS X server as a clean install.
Update to 10.5.6
Set TimeMachine to use the existing external disk, but turn off backups immediately.
Restore the /Users folder to OS X Server
Add Users with identical short names via the Users control panel. This presents me with a dialog to the effect that a folder already exists with that short name, and would I like that user to take ownership of it? Yes please!
Can anyone with more clue advise of drawbacks/gotchas/stupidity on my part?
As a safety net, I will actually use a new hard disk in the first instance, but the only ones I've got are smaller, so it will need to be done on the proper disks at some stage.
Cheers,
James

Success! As Mabel stated, didn't need to use the Time Machine, just copy /Users elsewhere beforehand. Installed Lepoard server, ran updates rebooted a few times, and then copied back /Users. When I went to add them in System Prefs -> System -> Accounts, I gave them the same short name as their old /Users/ folder - and it applied the permissions automatically.
They're now re-installing the useful software, but it's all working.
I wish everything else I admin'd was so easy.
Cheers all,
James

  • 10.5.x mail server migration to 10.6 (non upgrade)

    Hi all,
    So I have been reading up on the various issues with upgrading 10.5.x servers to 10.6 however my question involves going from a 10.5.x server to a clean 10.6 server (non upgrade install). I generally start fresh with a new OS and migrate the data anyway however this is the first time I have experienced a switch away from cyrus (Instead of to cyrus which I have done enough now).
    Has anyone done this yet? With the switch to dovecot, I am unsure how this works from a migration standpoint. Can I just use ditto to move the mail stores over and then the new dovecot server will simply recognize everything? I somehow feel like it can't be that easy with cyrus involved (though cyrus has worked well for me).
    I recall seeing an imap sync tool some use here to transfer imap mail to a new / different server. Would that be the preferred method? Mailbfr hasn't been updated for 10.6 yet so I can wait for that amazing software as well but I am itching to test our mail stores and scripts, etc out on the test box.
    I have a test server that is being freed up this week so I'll try myself anyway but was wondering if anyone had performed this sort of migration yet in a non upgrade fashion?

    Kerio provide a free tool to do IMAP migrations to Kerio, something similar for (Snow) Leopard Server would be nice. However it might be possible to do basically the same thing via the command line using Dovecot's own routines.
    See http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration
    That page also refers to an open source utility called imapsync to do direct IMAP transfers, it looks like it is a Perl program and should run on a Mac (it will almost certainly need some Perl modules adding and this requires you to install XCode). Ah! I have just found another tool called Larch which is written in Ruby, this looks from reports to be more flexible and more reliable.
    imapsync - http://freshmeat.net/projects/imapsync
    Larch - http://github.com/rgrove/larch/tree/master
    Let me know if you successfully do an IMAP->IMAP migration. If anyone manages to use Larch under Mac OS X let us know what was involved. I have done some Perl, and a bit of PHP but never touched Ruby before.
    I've used imapsync in the past; it is fairly reliable, although there are definitely a few caveats that you must read the documentation to catch (for example, there is a command-line switch that, if not used, will reset the sent/received dates of ALL transferred email to the current date, and another that is used to preserve the seen/unseen status). Getting it up and running requires (or at least required, as of my last use of it back in July of this year, on a 10.5 server) installing of a few Perl modules from CPAN as well, necessitating the installation of XCode on the server; you are correct on that point. That being said, it's a pretty handy tool for doing a wide variety of migrations, as it doesn't care WHAT the source and destination mail servers are, so long as they both speak IMAP. There are, of course, minor issues if the source server is Microsoft Exchange, since Exchange's IMAP implementation is a bit ... nonstandard ... at times.

  • BW Steps before and after R3 server migration

    Hi Friends,
    We are using ECC6 and BW 3.5.
    My client is going for R3 server migration, yes it's just a migration of server and not any upgrade. This server is quite old so migrating to a higher end server.
    BASIS will do a system copy during downtime i.e. a homogeneous client copy where they would just copy the DB tables. As per them all data will remain same and only the IP will change i.e. i will have to make a change in R3-BW RFC connection.
    I need to know what other pre and post migration steps are involved in this case?
    Thanks,
    BJ

    Hi,
    I dont think that there would be any impact on queues etc due to server migration. We flush out data from queues only in cases of upgrade/ patch application etc. because there is a chance that after the upgrade the structure of datasource may change. In that case, any data lying in queue beforehand would get corrupted and cannot be loaded.
    in your case, there is no such change going to happen, therefore no need to worry about queues. You can go ahead without worrying about any dataloss due to queues.

  • New production server PLUS upgrade!

    After years of groveling, weekly church visits, and burning incense, it appears that I will finally be able to get a new production server for our 3.3 TB data warehouse. They are also going to add 2 TB of space to our main storage array.
    In addition, management wants to upgrade from 10.2.0.3 to 11gR2 as part of that migration. Our current server was not able to handle 11g, according to Oracle.
    In recent times, I have had to do some very non-standard things as a dba, mostly due to insufficient resources. So these migrations may not be as straightforward as what you read in the docs, and therefore I would like some opinions about how best to achieve the migration to the new box, and to 11gR2.
    Our current environment is a Sunfire 6800 Sparc 64 box with 12 900mhz cpus and 16G of ram, and Solaris 10.
    Most of our datafiles are housed on a 3.7 TB Sun 2540 storage array, but due to space and performance constraints, it was decided to put one very large and mostly unimportant tablespace (350G) on a 2.1 TB Sun 3511 array. We also put our 2 temporary tablespaces (about 54G) on that array. Also on the 3511 array is our db_recovery_file_dest area, with all of our archived redo logs and flashback logs. Due to lack of space there, I have to direct our RMAN database file backups, archived log backups, and exports to an unsupported Hitachi SAN, which is 8 years old, like our Sunfire 6800.
    The new server is a Sun M4000 with Solaris 10, so the OS will not be an issue. It will have 4 4-way 2.5ghz processors and 32G of ram. The newly expanded 2540 array will have enough space to hold us for a few years. It is currently 3.7TB, using 2.6 of that. When expanded, it will be about 5.8TB.
    My mission is to move all of the temporary tablespace and other data files (about 1 TB) and the exports (1 TB) to the newly expanded 2540. We will keep the space (2.1 TB) allocated on the 3511 attached to the new server, but it will be used ONLY for recovery-related files; rman backups, flashback logs, archived logs, etc. My goal is to keep at least two full rman backups in that space, along with all the necessary archived log backups. We are supposed to get everything off of the old SAN. So, there will be a lot of file shuffling, nothing new for this shop.
    My plan would be to install 10.2.0.3 (same exact version) on the new server, then hook it up to the existing storage arrays. (My boss thinks that will reformat all of the disks on those arrays, but I don't think that is necessarily true. I believe it is possilble to mount each file system on those arrays to the new box, so long as they have been unmounted from the old one. Then again, I am not a Unix Admin)
    Next, I would startup-mount the database, move the necessary files to the 2540 using Oracle and Unix commands, then shut down the db. Then, I would install 11gR2 with all patches on the new server, and upgrade the database manually, in place.
    If my boss is right and connecting the new server to the existing arrays means re-initializing them, he asked if we could use our last RMAN backup to restore the database in the new environment. I said if we were still running 10g at that time on the new server, and all the file systems were identical, that should be possible. However, I should note that we do NOT use an RMAN catalog (RMAN uses the controlfile). We have no place to put an RMAN catalog. I have never even had a place to test doing a restore with RMAN.
    If anyone out there has been through a migration to a new server along with an Oracle upgrade, I would appreciate any ideas on the best way to go about it.

    Hi,
    Its not recommended to upgrade OS and Database same time. I would recommend :
    1) Migrate database from Old Server to new Severs.
    -> Install OS, packages, patches, create users, groups, mount points and configure kernel parameters as required.
    -> Restore $ORACLE_HOME, inventories, mount all data partitions on same mount points similar to old servers
    -> Perform relink for all oracle home binaries using command relink all command.

  • Server Migration

    I'm having a problem setfing up migration on my Managed Servers on Welbogic 9.2 mp2. First, My problem.
    When I try to manually migrate ManagedServer1 from MachineA to MachineB:
    Nodemanger shutdowns ManagedServer1
    Nodemanager removes the interface with the floating IP (so far so good)
    (here is where the problem starts)
    Nodemanager brings up the interface back on MachineA
    Nodemanager starts ManagesServer1 on MachineA (all this is suppose to happen on MachineB).
    This doesn't help me if it migrates it to the same machine!!!
    I quick overview of how things are set up.
    1) I have two machines, MachineA and MachineB running Solaris 10
    2) I have the admin server running on MachineA listening on the static ip of 139 and ManagedServer1 listening on the floating IP of 169 (fyi, don't want give out IP, so I made a number up)
    3) I have ManagedServer2 running on MachineB with the floating IP of 170.
    4) I created a weblogic user that has ssh trust config between the two machines and has the proper authority to create and bring down an interface.
    5) Created 2 Unix machines, Type SSH with the shell command ssh -l legalint -o PasswordAuthentication=no -p %P %H /opt/bea/weblogic92/common/bin/wlscontrol.sh -d %D -n /legalint/mtdom/ndmgr -c -f startManagedWebLogic.sh -s %S %C
    6) Network Time Protocal Config is set
    7) Lease database schema is created with corresponding data source and has two tables ACTIVE and ACTIVE_MT
    8) Server migration progerties configured: cluster datasource is set (In my directions it tells me to leave the Canidate machines blank). Managed servers auto migration set to true and primary and back-up machine set and auto-restart set to true.
    Any help is appreciated.

    The best way to deal with certificates and FQDN's in ZESM is to use commercial issued certificates or from the company's internal CA. Don't use the built-in product self-signed certificates under any reason for production deployments. The reason behind that, is that the internal ZESM certificate has its private key marked as non-exportable. So you'll not be able to export it from one server and move to another.
    For the server FQDN, create an A or Alias record in DNS to something like: "zesm.company.com", and point it to the actual ZESM server, that way, once you need to move all users from server, all that you need to do is to import the commercial certificate and point the DNS record to the new server IP Address.
    I did a couple of deployments in that way, with no issues.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi,
    planning the upgrade to the imminent release of ZESM 4.1 we would like
    to reinstall the server because it has undergone many installations.
    For security reason and for don't stop production we want to install
    ZESM 4.1 in a new server with the same ip and name of the actual then we
    want try It in a test VLAN.
    My question is:
    when we want to pass the new server in production or before ZESM
    instalation could we migrate the IIS certificate from the old server to
    new one? so the client should not be involved.

  • File Server Migration from 2008 Standard to 2012 Standard accross different subnet

    Hi
    Im going to migrate File server from Windows 2008 Standard server to Windows 2012 Standard . Source and Destination Servers are on different subnets . According to this
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj863566.aspx I cannot use Server migrations tool in-built into 2012 .  Im not sure if I can use file server migration toolkit 1.2?.  
    Also my Domain controllers are mixture of Windows 2003, 2008 , 2008 R2 and I've upgraded the schema level to 2012 R2 . Is there anything else I need to be aware of ?
    Can anyone please recommended best way to go about doing this migration . Is file server migration toolkit 1.2 is compatible ?  .
    Only reason I don't want to use Robocopy to this is because If I miss a small setting etc then I will face unwanted downtime.
    I presume Migration toolkit will also create all the Quotas etc on the destination server .
    Thanks
    mumtaz

    Hi mumtaz, 
    We could use file server migration toolkit 1.2 to migrate file server between the two subnets. In order to maintain security settings after the migration, please ensure the security of files and folders after they are migrated to a target file server, the File
    Server Migration Wizard applies permissions that are the same as or more restrictive than they were on the source files and folders, depending on the option you select.
    In the meantime, quota cannot migrate by this tool but we can export and import the quota using dirquota command. Export the templates as xml and then import to new server:
    dirquota template export /file:C:\test.xml
    dirquota template import /file:C:\test.xml
    For more detailed information, please see:
    Template Export and Import Scenarios

  • Photoshop CS6 can't save to server after upgrading to Mac OS Yosemite Server from Mac Lion Server

    We recently upgraded our server from a Mac Pro 2008 with OS X Lion Server to a Mac Mini 2014 with LaCie 20TB 5Big Thunderbolt 2 RAID drive. Everything is working fine with the exception of Photoshop. It does it intermittently but once it happens it will continue to do so. We get message like "Can't save to disk because of disk error" and "Can't save file because of program error" . Sometime we are able to do a "save as" and save over it. Most of the time we have to "save as" with a different file name and then rename and recopy the file. We have check permission on all the file as well as the server HD has ignore ownership checked. Again only three things changed. 1) Sever hardware change from Mac Pro to Mac Mini. 2) Server software upgraded from 10.7 Lion to 10.10 Yosemite(both have the latest update). 3) Drive when from internal on Mac Pro to External Thunderbolt 2 LaCie drive. We have no problem with Illustrator or Indesign. Only Photoshop. Anyone with any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately you seem to be using Photoshop in a way that Adobe discourages, so you may not be getting a lot of helpful advice.

  • 10.3 Whole Server Migration

    Hi,
    I need some enlightenments from all. Here is my setup (in Windows 2003 R2)
    2 physical Server, PS A, PS B (PS: physical server)
    PS A contains, 1 Admin Server, 1 Managed server
    PS B contains, 1 Managed Server
    I've done the necessary clustering setup and tested its working, using node manager (nmenroll, conseus, etc). now what I'm trying to perform is to try out whole sever migration.
    I've found out the script, wlsifconfig.cmd (found under %wls_home%\user_projects\domains\abc\bin\server_migration\, contains some linux command such as grep and rm. Workaround installed grep command for windows and replace rm with del.
    I've shut down all managed servers and configure the managed servers to be whole server migration ready, set the node manager properties etc. I start the managed server 1 in PS A, PS A contains the floating IP upon starting. I checked using ipconfig, the floating IP is added. Then I tried to start managed server 2 through the admin console in PS A. Here comes the problem, managed server 2 also add in the floating IP which resulted in windows IP conflict. I'm not sure what went wrong, as of now i suspect is the wlsifconfig.cmd is the root of the problem. Therefore writing in to ask help from all. (Could it be im using 10.3 which does not support whole server migration?)
    Best Regards

    This appears to be working on Windows using 10.0.3 Server. For the lack of step-by-step tutorial, my best suggestion is to read Node Manager Administrator's Guide chapter 1,2,3,4,6 and "Using Clusters" chapter 7. I ran into many error messages and had to apply several hacks from google results.
    The whole server migration design does not appear to be too useful though.
    I have the whole server migration configured on two hosts.
    1. Machine A has AdminServer and M1 (runs a pinned application and happens to be assigned a cluster master)
    2. Machine B has node manager and M2.
    3. M1 is set up to be migratable to A and B
    I shutdown Machine A, but nothing is migrated. From the document, it seems both cluster master and AdminServer need to be running in order for migration to happen. This is still a single point of failure.

  • File server migration with Offline files involved

    Hi,
    We are planning a file server migration in following weeks.
    This morning, our customer came with the good old "Ow, and I just thought about something else"
    Here's the scenario :
    -They are using 1 network drive
    -That network drive is made offline available for all laptop users
    -Those users are spread out in several country's. No VPN connection
    -They are working for months on their offline network drive, right in the middle of the wood, no internet connection, it was already short for them to find power supply for their laptop ...
    ...nevermind
    -The day they come back to the office, the file server to which points the network drives will be offline.
    Now the 1 Million question : What happens with their "dirty" files ?
    yep exactly. those they changed 6 months ago, have no clue about if you ask them but certainly will the day I will clear the damn cache.
    My first analysis :
    -The new file server will have another name, no alias or re-using the old name is possible (the customer don't want to)
    -I can't tell to those laptops "hey for that offline cache, please use this new network drive"
    So :
    >> Those users have to identify manually files they changed while being offline, copy them locally on their machine and work that way the time they come back to the main office.
    >> When they finally show up, clear the cache, offline the new network drive and replace file copied locally
    >> If no internet connexion available in the branch office, let them work locally, it's still better than this hybrid-non-sense 6month offline folder "solution". If internet connexion is mainly available remotely, propose some Citrix/View/RDS
    Setup which is, for me, a more professional looking solution
    Someone has another (better?) idea/solution ?

    Hi, 
    I suggest you ask users to collect their laptop to internet, then start offline files synchronization on the old file server. After that, use
    Robocopy to copy the date from the old server to the new server. As the offline files cache cannot be recognized by the new file server, so we need to synchronize data first.
    If the older server cannot be enabled, as you mentioned, you might need to ask users to copy their changed files to the new file servers.

  • BAM Cluster setup - issue with whole server migration configuration

    HI,
    We are working on a SOA , BAM , BPM Cluster setup on OEL VMs
    With Admin server running on Host1 and Soa_server1, BAM_server1 , Host2 - Soa_server2 , Bam_server2.
    We were successfully able to setup clustering for Soa without using the webTier utilities in our environment, Just by adding entries in the /etc/hosts file.
    Followed the document - except for web tier setup
    http://www.namredlek.nl/orasoa/InstallSOASuite11gOnCluster_v1.pdf
    1)     Installed Weblogic 11g.
    2)     Soa 11g.
    3)     Domain creation
    4) Configured Node manager
    5) Soa Clustering completed successfully.
    6) Domain up and running with SOA_Cluster up and running.
    7)     Extended the domain with BAM
    The issue revolves when we are doing teh Migration configurations from the console for BAM and we restart BAM server we get an error -
    Apr 14, 2011 2:30:35 AM weblogic.nodemanager.server.Handler handleStart
    WARNING: Exception while starting server 'bam_server1'

    and Bam server goes to Failed Not Restartable state.

    The error is clearly out there
    java.io.IOException: Command '/oracle/Shared_MWHome/user_projects/domains/SOA_Domain/bin/server_migration/wlsifconfig.sh -addif eth0 192.168.1.6 255.255.255.0 ' returned an unsuccessful exit code '1'. Check NM logs for script output.
    This error occurs due to a failure in adding the virtual IP of BAM server to the network interface you have specified in nodemanager.properties.
    You need to check whether you have specified the correct interface and subnet mask in node manager.properties as below :
    The fourth step is to edit the Node Manager's properties file. This file is called nodemanager.properties
    and is located in the ORACLE_BASE/product/osbmw/wlserver_10.3/common/nodemanager directory.
    For server migration to work properly, you need to add the properties listed below:
    Interface=eth0
    NetMask=255.255.255.0
    UseMACBroadcast=true
    · Interface
    This property specifies the interface name for the floating IP (for example, eth0).
    · NetMask
    This property specifies the net mask for the interface for the floating IP. The net mask should the
    same as the net mask on the interface; 255.255.255.0 is used as an example in this document.
    · UseMACBroadcast
    This property specifies whether or not to use a node's MAC address when sending ARP packets,
    that is, whether or not to use the -b flag in the arping command.

    This is the error that comes up on the server where the site
    sits. The database is working on my local machine with the local

    I think im using MySQL client 3.23 How do i upgrade?
    I found this on MySQL site:
    http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html
    I'm not sure how to edit the connection string to make it
    accept the vaules.

    The MySQL client that the error refers to isn't the version
    of MySQL,
    but the MySQL library bundled with PHP. It sounds as though
    your hosting
    company has upgraded to MySQL 4.1 or higher, but is still
    using PHP 4.

    You can't. It's the way that the user account passwords are
    stored in
    MySQL. You need to get the hosting company to upgrade to PHP
    5 or to
    reset the passwords in MySQL using the OLD_PASSWORD()
    function. This
    needs to be done by someone with top-level administrative
    privileges on
    the database.

  • SOA Cluster- Server Migration

    Hi All,
    I m installing SOA suite in high availability environment (cluster) and I want to understand why I do need to configure Server Migration for SOA and OSB managed servers, what will happened if one of the managed serves fails and I didn't migrate it to the node? Does this affect the running BPEL instance by any mean? And how the users will be affected?
    Any helpful answers will be appreciated
    Regrads,
    Ahmed Saber

    Thank you Robert for your reply.
    I still want to understand what will happen for the BPEL process and oracle service bus if server migration is not configured and one of the node get down.
    I understood from the link you sent that there are some singleton services that can only run on one node that's fine but I still want to understand from the business point of view how this might affect BPEL process and oracle service bus?
    Regards,
    Ahmed
