Which hardware exactly (small/medium/big irons), with 1 or 2 service processors? Do you have distributed datacenters or just one? How redundant is your hardware? How do you plan do connect the fabrics, SAN, machines? ...

Sorry, but to help you at all we need to know a lot more details than you provided.

OK, the DS4000 is pretty small, so i suppose the rest of your infrastructure is on the smaller side too. What is the rest of your environment like? Do you have a NIM server and how well is it maintained? (If you do not have one i suggest you start immediately building one, this system is invaluable in a migration!)

You see, there are a lot more questions than answers at the time being, The reason is your questions are quite unspecific, so we need to know a lot to give an adequate answer. Ask very specific questions ("can i attach the Flurbomatic 2000 to a Oomphotronic Mod. XL" can be answered with "yes" or "no") and you get answers immediately.

I hope thi shelps.

       xfsinfo [-server servername]

DESCRIPTION

       Xfsinfo is a utility for displaying information about an X font server.	It is used to examine the capabilities of a server, the predefined
       values for various parameters used in communicating between clients and the server, and the font catalogues and alternate servers that  are
       available.

       -server servername
	      This  option  specifies the X font server to contact.  servername must be specified in one of the formats defined in the Font Server
	      Names section of X(7).   If not specified, the server name in the FONTSERVER environment variable is used.

HISTORY

       Xfsinfo was originally called fsinfo.  It was renamed to avoid a clash with the fsinfo utility from the Berkeley automounter amd.

EXAMPLE

       name of server:	   hansen:7100
       version number:	   1
       vendor string: Font Server Prototype
       vendor release number:	17
       maximum request size:	16384 longwords (65536 bytes)
       number of catalogues:	1
	    all
       Number of alternate servers: 2
	   #0	 hansen:7101
	   #1	 hansen:7102
       number of extensions:	0

ENVIRONMENT

       FONTSERVER
	       To get the default fontserver.  The server name must be specified in one of the formats defined in the Font Server Names section of
	       X(7).
