Migrating to Linux OS

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi,

I’m planning to migrate couple of my servers from Windows 2003 to Linux. Domino Server version is 6.5.1.

Version is going to be the same , just OS change.

I found couple of topics about the process . I see two options:

  1. install new server on Linux and copy all files from Windows (id, names, mail dbs) and then configure Linux server with same name.

2 .install new server on Linux , put in domain as server B. Replicate all files ( mail dbs ), shutdown both servers and reconfigure server B (notes.ini and ID file) to be server A.

Which is better/safer? I have about 160Gb of mail files + mail archives.

Server has transaction logging enabled.

My only problem/question here is truns logs. I already have experience migrating servers without trans log. Usually copy DBs on OS level works.

Any comment / suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello,the best way to acomplish this is:

1.- Copy all .nsf files and server.id to linux (for example /local/notesdata)

2.- change owner (chown -R notes:notes /local/notesdata

3.- Install & setup domino normally

4.- enjoy.
