Migrate UNIXWare from old machine to new machine (different hardware)
Good afternoon all,

I'm a bit stuck... I honestly don't know very much about Unix let alone UnixWare for that matter. I have a system that's very old and could fail really at any time. I have another server I'd like to move everything to yet I don't know what's possible. The current server is a Dell PowerEdge 2500 and the replacement would be a Dell PowerEdge 2600.

Is there any way to say pulling an image of the system and then placing it on the replacement? I know some of the drivers would be different but at this point in time if the current system fails we'll be toast because no one can restore the system.

This wouldn't normally be a big deal however, this system holds database information for one of our critical systems. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason

How easy it is to pull an image depends on how it's set up. What are its disks?

The Poweredge 2500 is a Pentium 3. The 2600 is a Pentium 4.
You should be at Unixware 7.1.1 with maintenance pack 2 installed in order to just do a backup and restore.
Do you have a RAID system?
Do both machines have the same disk controller.
If you do an image copy, you will not be able to change the disk size.
