I am migrating from SCO 5.05 to SCO 6. The SCO 5.05 is on old hardware.
I have installed SCO 6.0 on a new Dell server. I am manualy migrating the users, printer config and profiles.
When I finsh migrating I plan to switch the IP address from the old server to new server, and shut down the old server.
By doing this I will not have have re-configure the digiport divices, print servers.
Digi port devices are new for me and I dont want to make any change on the devices ( this is to minimize the down time, as these devices are geographically spread)
Can you please advise me what files contain the Digi Portserver 16 configuration in SCO 5.05, that I can copy to the new server. or if copy is not possible then find out the config and re create on the new server.
Using 'ap' to move all the user profiles and passwords, may simplify that process.
Start here Drivers - Technical Support - Digi International for the terminal server drivers.
The kernel is re-linked during installation so you will not be able to just copy files from 5.0.5
When you re-install the Digi software, make sure that the range of terminal addresses is the same as on the old system. ie. If the old system has ttya01 through ttya15 then make sure that the new system has the same letter "a". This is especially true if the old system has ttyb01 etc.
Run 'mpi' on the old system to display the port configuration and usage.
Then run 'mpi' on the new system to configure individual ports.
Assuming that your old system used Visionfs for networking, and the new system uses Samba, you can use the following to help move network printers.
Visionfs:
Code:
:
# @(#) dumb 25.2 95/03/27
# lp interface for dumb line printer
S=/usr/spool/lp/bin; export S
V=/usr/vision/bin/visionfs; export V
#Set up some global variables.
: ${SPOOLDIR:=/usr/spool/lp}
: ${LOCALPATH:=${SPOOLDIR}/bin}
copies=$4
shift; shift; shift; shift; shift
files="$*"
i=1
while [ $i -le $copies ]
do
for file in $files
do
cat ${file}| $V print //MEX1/OKIB6300 - --user administrator --password abc
done
i=`expr $i + 1`
done
exit 0
