Migration Considerations
Any hardware migration should be planned as part of the overall application and
software migration tasks.
The next subsections refer you to the documentation for tasks involved in physically
moving legacy IOAM enclosures and NonStop S-series I/O enclosures to an Integrity
NonStop NS-series server.
IOAM Enclosures
Moving an IOAM enclosure from a NonStop S-series server to a NonStop NS-series
server is described in the NonStop NS-Series Hardware Installation Manual.
NonStop S-Series I/O Enclosures and Processor Enclosures
You can reuse NonStop S-series enclosures and most of the ServerNet adapters and
disk drives they contain in your NonStop NS-series server. For a list of supported
ServerNet adapters, disk drives, and other hardware devices, see NonStop NS-Series
Supported Hardware.
Moving an IOAM enclosure from a NonStop S-series server to a NonStop NS-series
server is described in the NonStop NS-Series Hardware Installation Manual.
Migration Considerations
•
SQL/MP objects that are present on disks installed in a NonStop S-series I/O
enclosure are not immediately usable after the enclosure is connected to an
Integrity NonStop NS-series system. The file labels and catalogs must be updated
to reflect the new system name and number. You can use the SQLCI MODIFY
command to update SQL/MP objects. Refer to the migration information contained
in the SQL Supplement for H-Series RVUs.
•
G-series application programs that reside on a NonStop S-series I/O enclosure
might require migration changes to run on an Integrity NonStop NS-series system
with an H-series RVU. For more information, refer to the H-Series Application
Migration Guide.
•
If you are moving a NonStop S-series I/O enclosure from a NonStop S-series
system to an Integrity NonStop NS-series system and want to migrate the data
online, you can perform a migratory revive if:
°
Your data is mirrored.
°
You have another NonStop S-series system or NonStop S-series I/O enclosure
connected to the NonStop S-series system.
As an overview, the necessary processes include:
°
Create a mirror of the data on the NonStop S-series I/O enclosure that is
moving to the Integrity NonStop NS-series system.
