Hi, i have the following situation:
old server infrastructure: ================ 1 Server: MIT Kerberos server REALM A, OpenLDAP server (without principals), OpenAFS 1.6 server cell A new server infrastructure: ================= 1. Server: FreeIPA 4 server REALM B 2. Server: OpenAFS 1.6 Server cell B old user client system setup: ===================== Ubuntu 16.04, MIT Kerberos client using REALM A, OpenLDAP client, OpenAFS 1.6 client, using cell A plan of new user client system infrastructure (the user client hardware wont change): ===================================================== Ubuntu 16.04, FreeIPA client 4 using REALM B, OpenAFS 1.6 client using cell B I read the thread: https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2009-March/031004.html So if i understand the thread and man pages correctly i could do the following steps: 1. change entries CellServDB / ThisCell on the old OpenAFS server (current config is Cell A) to Cell B. 2. restart OpenAFS bos server on the old server of Cell A. 3. On the old AFS Server ( now Cell B ), do a: vos move -localauth (as super user from the old server) volumename from old OpenAFS server (which is now Cell B) to new OpenAFS server (Cell B) So i have some questions: Why to use vos synvldb like mentioned in the thread 031004 ? I think vos move should change the vldb entries on the old and the new server ? Whats up with the different REALMs (REALM A and B) on the old and the new server ? I know there are two different afs/cell@REALM service principals for the bos server to run, on the old server afs/cell_a@REALM_A and on the new server afs/cell_b@REALM_B. So could i simply move the volumes as root from the old openafs server changed from cell A to cell B and realm A to new server system cell B / realm B ? regards, Andreas
