Howdy,
I have a Linux server set up with 2 hard drives, both IDE. The main drive has 3 partitions. A swap and two others. The second drive is insignificant. The system is uses the Grub boot loader.
I just inherited an HP NetServer E50 with 2 18GB Ultra/Wide SCSI drives, connected to an Adaptec AHA-2940 (AIC77xx). I wish to move the whole installation from the old server to the new one. As I said, I’m not real concerned about the 2nd HD. I can copy that data later once it’s up and running. My problem is obvious: going from IDE to SCSI, different video, NIC etc. The video and NIC are not a big deal. I can deal with that once it’s running. But how would I go about doing a “clean” transfer? I know there will be issues with the mtab, fstab, /dev and /mnt directories.
Is there a straight forward method to doing this?
Brian
