Full Discussion: migrate user ID and password
Operating Systems AIX migrate user ID and password Post 58421 by AbEnd on Sunday 21st of November 2004 07:21:56 PM

I don't know AIX at all. But in general, the /etc/passwd file doesn't contain the whole data. It might also be the case for /etc/group on some UNICes. The whole data are in other files and it is not the same for all UNICes. But it is probably somewhere in /etc. Check the passwd(5) man page, maybe it will tell you. And beside their /home stuff, don't forget to backup the crontabs and the mails. And check adduser(8) and rmuser(8), they might have some infos on the /etc files or pointers to utilities that might help you.

NAME
dtc-xen_migrate - migrate a VPS to another Xen server SYNOPSIS
LOCAL_VPS_ID DESTINATION_HOSTNAME [ DEST_VPS_ID ] DESCRIPTION
dtc-xen_migrate This shell script is a part of the dtc-xen package that is to be used by the dtc panel to manage a Xen VPS server. Note that you need rsync in both the source and the destination dom0. This script is used to move the content of a Xen virtual machine (VM) managed with dtc-xen to another Xen server of the same type. The VM destination will first be prepared, then the local VM will be shut down, then it's content will be transfered over using rsync. Note that this is NOT a live migration, and down time of approximatively the time needed for the rsync will occure. PARAMETERS
LOCAL_VPS_ID The DTC-Xen id of the VM, from 00 to 99. DESTINATION_HOSTNAME Destination Xen server hostname to migrate to. DEST_VPS_ID Destination DTC-Xen id of the VM, from 00 to 99. EXAMPLE
dtc-xen_migrate 19 alpha.example.com 21 This will migrate the content of xen19 on the local machine to the destination server alpha.example.com using xen21 as VM name. SEE ALSO
