Hi everyone,
We're working on migrating our account creation process and oracle
server from Solaris 9 (Oracle 9) to RHEL5 (Oracle 11). To do more
testing, I have been asked to create a new AFS cell and krb5 realm that
is a sandbox of production, including having the same realm/cell names
as production. I plan to mirror just enough volumes to do the testing.
The same name is wanted to avoid tweaking the account generation scripts.
To make the sandbox, I would like to copy the existing krb5 and PTS
DB's. Besides the Keyfile and CellservDB, what other Kerberos/AFs keys
must be changed to prevent the sandbox from accidentally affecting
production via AFS/KRB commands?
I plan to selectively "vos dump" some production volumes and "vos
restore" them on the test cell.
I would appreciate any other tips that anyone has.
BTW, I proposed using a differently/named test cell/realm and was shot down.
Sincerely,
Jason
