Tonight we are doing a migration on a Novell server (node nameLOUDAT4) to new OS and new hardware. The migration will be occurring as follows. The current Novell server (LOUDAT4) is SCSI connected to an EMC symmetrix and that is where its disk resides. It is NetWare 4.11. The destination will be new server hardware running NetWare 5.1. This server is fibre connected to the EMC symmetrix. It will be zoned so that it can see the disk that is currently out there, and assume ownership of it.
We will be removing NDS from the original server and getting it out of the Tree. We will then install NDS on the new hardware, and this server will assume the same name and internal IPX addresses of the original server. The main differences here is that it will be new hardware and a new OS (NetWare 5.1). We will have a new volume object ID in NDS, but I don't believe that TSM reference this. Aside from that, the server name, volume name, and IPX addresses will remain the same. We plan to bring over the option files from the original box to the new box. It currently has TSM 4.1.3.0 client code installed. My question is, will TSM do a full backup after this type of harware change or will he do a normal incremental?
