| 3831.1 | 2.3 --> 3.0 is possible | IOSG::TYLDESLEY | | Mon Jan 31 1994 10:16 | 13 |
| Hello Nieves.
Forgive me if I don't understand your setup completely. Are you
installing V3.0 on a completely different machine, and then you want to
move some users on to it, leaving the other system at V2.3?
It would be better if you could bring both machines up to V3.0.
But, failing that, V2.3 to V3.0 Transfer User should be quite possible,
using Transfer by Tape. See section 8.5 of the V3.0 Management Guide.
Let us know if there are problems with this.
Cheers

| "RTFM" is an acronym for "Please refer to the manual"
The specific manual and section you require was given in reply .1 to this topic:

| Hi Scott,
>"RTFM" is an acronym for "Please refer to the manual"
Is that a litral translation from Welsh ? Not that I am trying suggest
that the Welsh contingent use RTFM quite often (:=====:).
I always wondered what the "F" in RTFM ment now I know that it's some
Welsh word for "refer".

| I know all about transfer users using the network or a tape, and of
course I know the problems that this has, there are lots of stars
articles and I have very bad experiences doing this, so what I need is
a way to do this with backup or copy. The problem is the difference
between the two versions, so I'm thinking about upgrading the 2.3 to
3.0 and after do a copy to the other system.
What I want is info from someone that did this before.

| 3831.8 | Why didn't you say that before? | IOSG::PYE | Graham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's Apprentice | Thu Feb 03 1994 10:39 | 13 |
| Nieves,
Well, I think you should not be surprised that we didn't know what
question you were really asking before....
If the two versions are different, then the steps are reasonably
complicated. I don't imagine that anyone will have worked out a better
way of doing it than we have.
If you can upgrade the V2.3 system to a later version (especially V3.0)
before doing the transfer, then it will obviously be easier.

| 3831.9 | Go to 3.0 it's a better choice | GIDDAY::SETHI | Oh what a feeling ..... | Thu Feb 03 1994 22:42 | 17 |
| Hi Nieves,
Going to 3.0 is the best bet for the simple reason the transfer user
accounts does not touch the users account. What I mean here is that if
things go wrong than you do not have to worry about trying restore the
user(s) account. This is very useful if you have many accounts to
transfer and should the transfer user facility fail you still have your
user account in tact.
Pervious versions of ALL-IN-1 were a nightmare when it came to transfer
user if things went wrong. Our customers have commented on the vast
improvement in this area, thanks to the IOSG we have had very positive
feedback.
