Good morning...
We moved from Transarc AFS 3.6 2.<2.26 on Solaris and AIX to OpenAFS 1.2.9 on RH9 last summer.  We had 6 servers, 3 DB (AIX 4.2.1) and 3 User volume (Solaris 2.6).  We migrated these one server at a time to 3 RedHat boxes connected to a SAN with no problems at all.  As a precaution, I brought the cell down and took off-line backups of all DB files before beginning the migration.

If you'd like more information on our procedure, I'd be happy to share.

HTH,
Brian

[OpenAFS] dated transarc to openafs migration






I've got a number of Solaris 2.6 machines running very dated Transarc/IBM
file servers. How ugly is the prospect of adding OpenAFS 1.2.11 servers
(on either Solaris 2.8 or Redhat 9) to the mix? Short of the 01/10/04
bugs, its been relatively stable so I'm reluctant to touch much.

There's an awful lot of bug fixes we're missing out on, but there's a huge
amount of changes between where we are and current releases, so I'm not
sure how safe it is to introduce newer version servers..

thanks.
