[OpenAFS] Re: IBM AFS to OpenAFS upgrade complete... problems continue

[Atro Tossavainen]

Thanks all,

* Yes, I know kaserver is deprecated, thank you

* To repeat, running IBM AFS anything on Solaris 10 x64 is not possible

* Running kaserver on hosts other than the current two means running
  all the database services of AFS on hosts other than the current
  two, which leads to all the fun that changing the IP addresses of
  database servers in a cell does, or changing the IP addresses of
  the fileservers in order to restore some other things on the IP
  addresses of the database servers, which leads to other complications
  that I can't have (#2 being our networker backup server, for example)

* I would very much like to get the entire hardware upgrade bit behind
  (including a change of the underlying SAN, the SPARC to x64 servers,
  and the tape library) before embarking on anything to do with the
  logical side of things, such as Kerberos 5, just to keep it manageable
  for myself, it is just me after all.

MH, non-MH?

Yes, I did have to use vos changeaddr when I changed the new file
servers from their temporary IP addresses to the real ones in order
to see any volumes at all.  I think I've reported that here.

All ears.  I can't see the obvious fault above.

That's right.  Here they are.
