How to migrate DX from one server to another
Hello,
We have a server change, and we have to move DX to a newer server, with different name.!
My plan is:
I make an registry backup.
I install DX to the new server
I make an registry restore (will it work, should I care something?)
I give the extended drive to the new server.
I hope it will work.
Has anybody done similar. Are there any experience?
Thanks.

Answering to the original question, the solution Zoltan described worked, on DX 6.2 SP1.
1. We made a copy of the extended drive using Open Migrator, and allocated it ot the new DX server
2. The archive on NAS (share of a Win2003 server) was accessible to the new DX server
3. Registry log export on the old server
Attention, in our case the old DX was installed on a cluster, and the registry log was made using the node name, not the virtual hostname.
4. We renamed the new server to the old server node name. fs1-node2
5. Imported the registry.
6. Renamed from node name, to the virtual hostname. fs1
7. Run the dxotgkb.exe from c:\program files\otg\diskxtender\bin and selected option Change Computer Name.
8. Then a last restart and everything worked fine.
Hope it is helpfull!

Zoltan,
It's a little bit more complicated than that.
It is recommended that you engage the EMC professional services. They will do it for you.
Thanks
