I want to migrate all my current volumes,file services and database
services to a new host.
Currently, there is one host holding all the file and database
services.I plugged in a new host, in wich i plan to move 
all current volumes and all database information.
What is the procedure i should follow?


THe following procedure seemed to have failed:
1.Started bosserver on the new host, and "bos setcellname ..."
2.Created buserver vlserver instances.
(at this point, the CellServDB file on the new host, lists only
itself.The CellServDB on the old host wich
is actually holding all the data, contains only the old host.)
3.On the host actually holding data (the old host), i did "bos addhost
new_host" so its CellServDB file
is like:
my.cell>
old_host
new_host
4.I copied this CellServDB file on the new host, and restarted the
services, but the failed to restart with the following messages:
- PtLog -
