33.2 Migration Procedure

  1. Install OES 11 SP3 on the target server.

  2. Stop Tomcat on the source server, using the following command: rcnovell-tomcat5 stop.

  3. Configure QuickFinder on the target server with the same values as the source server.

  4. Stop Tomcat on the target server, using the following command: rcnovell-tomcat6-32bit stop.

  5. Migrate the /var/lib/qfsearch/*.properties files from the source server to the target server in the same volume and directory structure.

  6. Migrate the virtual server settings from the source server to the target server in the same volume and directory structure. The default location is /var/lib/qfsearch/Sites. If the location is configured to a different location from the source server, then migrate it to a similar location on the target server. The location can be obtained from the source server (QuickFinder > Global Settings > General Service Settings > Server Management Settings > Default location of virtual server settings).

  7. Restart Tomcat on the target server, using the following command: rcnovell-tomcat6-32bit start.

  8. Restart Apache on the target server, using the following command: rcapache2 restart.

33.2.1 Transfer ID - Same Tree

In this scenario, the target server is installed in the same tree as the source server. On successful completion of Transfer ID, the target server functions with the same credentials (such as IP address and host name) as the source server and source server node is no longer available in the network. For more information, see Section 10.0, Using the Migration GUI Tool for Transfer ID

33.2.2 Post Migration

After the migration, log in to QuickFinder and verfy that the configuration was properly migrated.
