Hi!

I know I'm posting alot -- have several things hitting me at once. I am
bringing my live application over to the new box and will be upgrading it.
What is the easiest way to copy the data over? I will be setting up the
new box with the same volume groups and file systems (not in size but same
layout) for now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thank you.

If the app installed in a seperate filesystem, a tar-tape is easiest I think.

Cross-mount the filesystem from old system to some nebulous mount point on
the new filesystem. Then cd into the cross-mounted FS and run the following
command (example fs is /usr/datafiles)
find . -print | cpio -pdum /usr/datafiles

Check the manpages for the flags on cpio.

If you can do the rhosts thing, rcp is good. It will preserve permissions
where ftp doesn't.

My vote:
set up rsh for root temporarily (/.rhosts), then:
cd {source dir}
tar cvf - * | rsh {target hostname} "(cd {targetdir}; tar xvf -)"

If you do your backups with either Sysback (IBM Direct) or Storix Backup
Administrator (http://www.storix.net), you don't even have to create the VGs
and filesystems manually. You can use either to recreate the VGs and
filesystems directly from the data on the backup, and of course, restore the
data as well.
