Hello, I was wondering if any users or developers have a solution for moving all the volumes from one server to another?
We have a perl program that was written 11 years ago to do that. But it has problems... Its mixed in with this other perl code for programmatically creating volumes and its a bit of a mess. You have to remember to run it inside of screen or tmux. If you forget to do that, or you press CTRL-C to try to interrupt the script it passes that CTRL-C down to vos command and volumes get corrupted. Then you might have to go to tape backup. The programmer who wrote it moved on a long time ago. Does anyone have a solution they use for this? Something that could be safely interrupted? The reason I ask is that I know of no other way to handle things such as Red Hat kernel upgrades where a reboot is required. Having an outage for kernel upgrades is problematic for us since so much other technology depends on having afs working at all times. The kernel updates seem to happen about every 2 weeks or so. Thanks,
