[gpfsug-discuss] ESS GL2 data to new ESS3500

[Olaf Weiser]

Hi Walter -
Create a new Rg on 3500 , and file system independently from the old environment
Then set up an remote mount relationship and mount or use NFS ( if your release distance  is too large for multi cluster )
Use AFM to fetch the data into the new file system
You can do it by fileset pr for the whole file system at once

Hi ! We want to migrate data from an old ESS GL2 ( 5. 0. 5 ) to ESS3500 solution. (5. 1. x) I wanted to ask is there any way to migrate the data with gpfs methods? We heard that you cannot create a rg on an ess3500 when it´s nodes become member


Hi !

We want to migrate data from an old ESS GL2  ( 5.0.5 ) to ESS3500 solution. (5.1.x)

I wanted to ask is there any way to migrate the data with gpfs methods?

We heard that you cannot create a rg on an ess3500 when it´s nodes become  member of the old cluster because of GNR Version mismatch

I thought I can create new rg on ess3500  , create vdisksets and nsds , then add the disks to a filesystem based on vdisks of old rgs

I there really no way to transfer with gpfs methods? (like mmadddisk (new vdisks(nsds)  of 3500  , and then mmdeldisk the old nsds(vdisks)

So if you run into this situation you have to create a new cluster?
