Could someone please post a link to download the DX6.1.040 Migration Utility...thanks.

I was able to find the download on the ftp site...

You can use the MetaData Export feature in DX to transfer the existing stub files to the new partition. Simply export the data from the existing box to a unc path. Once you've installed the base DiskXtender product on the new server you can use the Repair Log (Called Repair Disk in 5.x) to reset all the configuration settings (see help for more details). You can then import the metadata from the old box. Unfortunately you must use the the same servername on the new hardware for this to work. Hope this helps.

There's also a new DiskXtender utility called the Dx Server-to-Server Migration utility that will allow you to move all of your Dx configurations and the data on your Extended Drive to a new server.

You will need to contact Dx Support to get this utility, but it is much easier than the Repair Disk/Meta Data Export method of moving to a new server. The new server doesn't even need to have the same server name anymore.

mike,
thnx for your fast respons. we will contact dx support to get some documentation about this utilily.

Yes it is. You will need to install Dx 6.1 on the new server, but do not configure anything. Then, use the 6.1 version of the server-to-server migration utility. Run that on your 5.6 server and point it to your new 6.1 server. It will handle upgrading everything from 5.6 to 6.1 for you.

Hope this helps.

Hi Michael,

Can't access the link anymore. Any other option?

Try the link again. Should be working now. You'll need to grab the utility within 24 hours of this message, or it will be removed.

Thanks!
