Platform Migration: Tru64 -->> RHEL4 (version x86_64)
Hello,
Does anybody did a Networker server 7.2.1 migration from Tru64 to RHEL4 (version
x86_64)?
Should I re-create the media database using "scanner" utility?
Should I re-create indexes using "scanner" utility?
I saw somewhere that it's possible not to recreate indexes if both OSes are litle-endian.
Should be enough to copy index directories using OS commands.
What about media database?- is it enough to create a simple copy of it too?
I tried to copy media database and index directories to a Linux server from Tru64 in
the lab (seq like: create tar of media database and index directories, copy tar, extract
tar, install Networker server rpm's). After such steps:
- mminfo -a -m -v -s reported on RHEL the same thing as it was reporting on Tru64
- nsrck -L 6 did not reported any inconsistencies
- nsrck -mn did not reported any inconsistencies
Something else to check in addition?
I'm aware that it is an officially unsupported way to change the platform.
regards
