Transfer an existing server?

I have setup 10.6.8 server on mac Mini.  It is sitting at the "Transfer an Existing Server?" prompt. (It says, "if you are replacing an existing mac server, you can connect to it and transfer it's information to this new server....You will NOT be able to migrate from another server at a later time"
I was told by apple genius that I could connect this mac mini to my old server by lan cable direct, and transfer. (like how migration assistant usually works)
Problem is it didn't recognize the old server when I did this.
How can I get the new server to recognize the old server to be able to transfer?  Obviously, I can't reboot the new server yet, it's sitting at a point waiting for "something" to show up for it to recognize.

Ask Apple? 
AFAIK, the transfer is not permissible via LAN.
AFAIK, the transfers are only local via FireWire or Thunderbolt (and you'll need a match between what the old and the new Mac Mini Server supports), or via a USB-connected local disk.
The way I usually do this is with Disk Utility.  Creating an external backup on a USB disk - boot the installer DVD on the old Mac Mini Server, and run Disk Utility from the Utilities menu and create an external copy of the disk - then transfer and connect that disk to the new Mac Mini Server.  I use this "backup of the original server" as the source, too; I use the original disk in the Mac Mini as the "backup copy".  (This obviously assumes a one-disk configuration; on the newer Mac Mini Server boxes, I usually RAID the internal disks.)
And you should be able to shut down and restart the new Mac Mini Server and get back to that transfer section.  At worst, you'll restart the installation from the recovery partition, and get back to that transfer prompt that way.

  • Transfer an existing Website to Adobe Muse

    Hello friends!
    I have a new question: It is possible, to transfer an existing website (with all the HTML and CSS documents with the help of the FTP server) to Adobe Muse? Or do I must create all the website again?
    Thanks!

    Hi Otis--
    No, it's not possible, and yes, you'll need to recreate. I suppose the upside is that you should already have all of your assets ready, but I know it's more work, unfortunately. You can't pull in sites built outside of Muse into it, and you can't open up and edit Muse sites outside of Muse (easily, anyway).
    Good luck!

  • Cannot add a new server in existing server pool

    Hi,
    I am trying to add a new server into an existing server pool.
    I have the same agent password, the same root password (i don't think is important).
    It disovers the server and is on unassigned Servers.
    When trying to add into existing server pool it fail with:
    Job Internal Error (Operation)com.oracle.ovm.mgr.api.exception.FailedOperationException: OVMAPI_4010E Attempt to send command: dispatch to server: vmsibm2 failed. OVMAPI_4004E Server Failed Command: dispatch https://?uname?:[email protected]:8899/api/2 configure_server_for_cluster lun /dev/mapper/35000144f85151729 0004fb0000050000c696b251dc81a087 , Status: org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException: exceptions.OSError:[Errno 2] No such file or directory
    Any ideeas?

    Hi,
    I can see your point...
    From my error :Server Failed Command: dispatch https://?uname?:[email protected]:8899/api/2 configure_server_for_cluster lun /dev/mapper/35000144f85151729 0004fb0000050000c696b251dc81a087 , Status: org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException: exceptions.OSError:[Errno 2] No such file or directory
    /dev/mapper/35000144f85151729 is the path where the server pool uses for it's own...
    and
    0004fb0000050000c696b251dc81a087 is the Pool file System...
    On storage menu, at SAN Servers - Unmanaged iSCSI Storage Array - where I see my storage wich is with iSCSI at Add/Remove Admin Servers I added this new server.
    Also I went to Rescan Physical Discks for my new server.
    When I go with putty on my server and run
    df -h
    I don't see any storage...
    I belive I missed one step but I can't find wich one...
    Regards

  • I have an iPhone 3gs and will be getting a new iPhone 4s. Once I have updated my existing 3gs with iCloud and backed up to my computer, will I be able to transfer my existing data to my new 4s using iCloud or will I need to do this from my iMac.

    Thanks

    The Apple genius at the Apple store told me this would work. It failed. Basically, updating your iPhone 3GS to iOS5 wipes your 3GS of its data so you can't really do this. Some data worked. Music, photos etc didn't work at all.
    I suggest avoiding iCloud completely for a few weeks until Apple gets it working.

  • Upgrading Hyperion 9.3.1 to 11.1.2.1 in the Existing Server.

    Hi All,
    I am in need of your valuable suggestions. We are in process of upgrading Hyperion 9.3.1 to 11.1.2.1 in the existing server. I have got only 2 environments namely Dev & Prod. So I have to do everything in one server only to upgrade to ensure its working. Currently we have got Shared Services, HFM (EPM application not Classic), Workspace,Hyperion Performance Management Architect,FR & Web Analysis & FDM in 9.3.1 version.I know first i need to upgrade from 9.3.1 to 9.3.3 and then to 11.1.2.1.My question is that after successful upgrade to 9.3.3 how i am going to upgrade to 11.1.2.1 in the same server. i was informed by oracle to create a new Drive in the server and there you can install & configure it. I have few questions
    * How the shared services will be upgraded. Do i need to point it to the existing (9.3.3) database.If Yes, will it work as i can't roll back.
    *I read that in 11.1.2.1 there is a Utility HSSMIGRATE.BAT which we are supposed to run and it will create a ZIP which need to point during the 11.1.2.1
    configuration. I am not sure whether its going to work or not.
    * Have also read if there is Performance Management Architect then there are certain activities which need to be carried out.
    * What Back should i take?
    * How to upgrade HFM from 9.3.1 to 9.3.3 to 11.1.2.1
    * Read that FDM need to be deleted if you want to upgrade it to 9.3.3 from 9.3.1 and then again reinstall it for 11.1.2.1.Please suggest how to go about it.
    Please suggest if there can be any other approach also.Can any one tell for shared services can it be possible that i export the security through CSSEXPORTUTILITY in 9.3.3. Shared Services and then Import it back in 11.1.2.1.Would request you to provide me as much information as you can.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Answers:
    * How the shared services will be upgraded. Do i need to point it to the existing (9.3.3) database.If Yes, will it work as i can't roll back.
    1.After installation of 11.1.2.1,you will have to run configuration utility and point to existing database which will upgrade HSS.The hssmigrate utility will provide a zip file which should be used as well.The configuration utility will have option to "import data from earlier release"
    *I read that in 11.1.2.1 there is a Utility HSSMIGRATE.BAT which we are supposed to run and it will create a ZIP which need to point during the 11.1.2.1
    configuration. I am not sure whether its going to work or not.
    2.Refer (1).The utility is tested and supported so should work from you also.If having problems then get in touch with Oracle support.
    * What Back should i take?
    3.Every thing ----repository,filesystem etc.
    You can refer to backup and recovery guide which should have what to be backedup for each component.

  • Registering Existing Server on new ODSEE 11.1.1.7 DSCC

    The DSCC from 11.1.1.5 allowed you to register existing servers and gave you the option to add a new host and use a different port. I am running DSCC on one machine and would like to register and monitor all my servers from this one DSCC GUI. It makes it really easy to verify that all my servers are up and running by looking at the list of all my local and remote directory servers. I just installed 11.1.1.7 and went to register an existing server. It only defaults to the local host and port 3779 and you cannot change it or add a new remote host. Does this mean with 11.1.1.7, you can only create and register servers on the local host that DSCC is running? If there is a new way to do it, I could not find it in the documentation. Any help would be appreciated.

    Multiple DSCC environment is possible.
    I did it in this way:
    1) Unzip the binaries on both HOST_A and HOST_B
    2) Create the DSCC registry on HOST_A
    3) Create the DSCC agent on HOST_A and register it on DSCC on HOST_A
    4) Create the DSCC agent on HOST_B and register it on DSCC on HOST_A (use the -h option)
    5) Start the agent on HOST_A
    6) Start the agent on HOST_B
    7) Create dscc7.war on HOST_A
    8) Deploy DSCC on a WebContainer on HOST_A
    9) Create the DSCC registry on HOST_B
    10) Create the DSCC agent on HOST_B and register it on DSCC on HOST_B (it will use a different port)
    11) Create the DSCC agent on HOST_A and register it on DSCC on HOST_B (use the -h option)
    12) Start the new agent on HOST_A
    13) Start the new agent on HOST_B
    14) Create dscc7.war on HOST_B
    15) Deploy DSCC on a WebContainer on HOST_B
    My config looks like this:
    HOST_A
    bash-3.00# /opt/dsee7/bin/dsccreg list-agents
    Enter DSCC administrator's password:
    Hostname      Port  Certificate  Type        Owner  Flags  iPath                     Description
    opensso-dev1  3997  undefined    DSCC_AGENT  root   -      /opt/dsee7/var/dcc/agent  -
    opensso-dev2  3997  undefined    DSCC_AGENT  root   -      /opt/dsee7/var/dcc/agent  -
    2 agent(s) displayed
    bash-3.00#
    HOST_B
    bash-3.00# /opt/dsee7/bin/dsccreg list-agents
    Enter DSCC administrator's password:
    Hostname      Port  Certificate  Type        Owner  Flags  iPath                      Description

  • Unusual File Transfer between SCCM Server & DCs

    Hello There,
    Today i got an alert from my network team about huge data transfer between SCCM Server & DCs on the sites.
    I wonder what does SCCM has to transfer / DC need to fetch from SCCM Server?
    Right now i have blocked the DC IPs on the SCCM Server - Windows Firewall which stopped the flow but i am keen to find out what is going on.
    Any suggestions?

    Assuming you verified there is no client installed on the DC, about the only other thing ConfigMgr itself would send data for is if a share on the DC were designated either as a package source location for driver packages or Software Updates, or if it
    was set as the destination for the Backup Site Server maintenance task.  Beyond that, it may be something other than ConfigMgr responsible for the file transfer.

  • HELP- new laptop- how do i transfer my existing tunes onto my new laptop?

    Hi Guys,
    I have 800 tunes saved in the Library on my old laptop and have brought a new laptop. I want to transfer my existing tracks onto the new computer. Could someone explain how to do this or point me in the right direction.
    Thanks in advance
    Jen

    It's easy.
    I'm assuming you know how to get your two notebooks onto the network, and make them accessible to each other by sharing folders.
    Goto old notebook itunes, goto your iTunes settings and check to see where iTunes keeps your music. It could be in your 'My Music'. This is also where iTunes keeps the Library database. Regardless, confirm the location because you will need to SHARE this folder on your network.
    Goto NEW notebook itunes. 2 things need to happen here.
    (1) In your iTunes settings, make sure you tell itunes to manage your music (which means it will copy any songs you add to the library to a local central location on your NEW notebook).
    (2) Import your ITUNES Library from OLD notebook. The import command is found in the FILE menu. Remember - you will need to browse over the network to your SHARED Folder sitting on the OLD notebook. Once iTunes imports the library, it should also be copying all the songs over the network to your new notebook. I would highly recommend not doing this over a wireless network.
    Simple.
