Server swap/upgrade
I have two servers, one is a fully patched 4.1 and the other runs NW5.0. I own the original base licenses & upgrades for each to nw 4.2 & 5.1 respectively – each with 50 user license that I’ve not activated yet. My 4.1 svr is about to die. So I Bought a new server w/o an os.
I need to move the 5.0 server to 5.1 on the new box & replace the old 4.1 server with 4.2 on the 5.0 box.
To make things more complicated, the current 5.0 server has my tape backup hardware. Soif I use dsmaint to move the directory services, will it be possible to bring the new 5.1 server online & keep the old 5.0 server online to restore files?
I’ve been prowling for info on server swaps using the same license for upgraded OS on different machines. I need to keep the server names the same as they were. Anybody had experiance with this?
Thanks in advance…
Keith
