Storage and network checklists

How to use these checklists

It's a good idea to photocopy the checklists on this page and the next page and fill them out as you go through the checks earlier in this section. (By photocopying them you will keep the originals clean for next time.)

STORAGE CHECKLIST

How much disk space is used and available on the volumes? (See Step 1 of the Storage checks and actions.)

df of source filer's volumes: ________________________________________

df of destination filer's volumes: _____________________________________

Have you added a sufficient number of disks to the destination volumes if necessary? (See Step 2 of the Storage checks and actions.)________

Do the path names of the source and destination volumes match? (See Step 4 of the Storage checks and actions.)_________

If you are managing qtree-based vFilers, is each destination volume free of qtree names that duplicate source qtree names? (See Step 6 of the Storage checks and actions.)________

Have you copied filer-based quota information from the source to the destination filer's /etc/quotas file if necessary? (See Step 8 of the Storage checks and actions.)__________

NETWORKING CHECKLIST

Are there enough IP addresses available for the vFiler on the destination network? (See Step 2 of the Network checks and actions.)

______________

old interface: _______________ new interface:_______________

Check syntax carefully; interface names are case-sensitive.

Have you gathered all the authority servers? (See Step 5 through Step 10 of the Network checks and actions.)___________

old NIS domain: ____________ new NIS domain: ______________

old NIS IP addr:____________ new NIS IP addr:_ _____________

old NIS IP addr: ____________ new NIS IP addr:______________

old DNS domain:____________new DNS domain: _____________

old DNS IP addr: ____________ new DNS IP addr:_____________

old WINS IP addr: ___________ new WINS IP addr:_ ___________

old WINS IP addr: ___________ new WINS IP addr:____________

old NT domain type: NT4 W2K

old domain name (FQDN and NetBIOS):_______________________

new NT domain type: NT4 W2K

new domain name (FQDN and NetBIOS):_______________________

Can you use the same trusted host for vFiler administration? (See Step 12 of the Network checks and actions.)_______

old trusted host name:_________new trusted host name:___________

What to do next

When you have finished the preparation, you are ready to create the destination vFiler.

If you are preparing a disaster-recovery vFiler, follow directions under Creating the disaster-recovery vFiler.
In this case the original vFiler remains intact and running.
If you are moving a vFiler from one physical filer to another, follow directions under Migrating the vFiler.
In this case, the original vFiler is destroyed after it has been replicated on the destination filer.
