Re: Secondary storage migration

I just posted similar question :)

My original idea was to rsync data to second NFS server...complete folder
structure to be cloned via rsync etc...and then remove IP from first NFS
box, and attach same IP to second NFS box (at least for my purposes...since
I need temp maintance on first node, and later go back to using it...).

But for your purpose, here you can find Citrix's article explaining I guess
what you want to achieve... http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX135229

Secondary Staging Store (should be explained in ACS docs...please read
manual...) is NFS server that stores data temproraily, unitl it is uplaoded
to Object Storage that you use as SEcondary Storage (one of the optons you
can use = use S3 as Secondary Storage, but again Staging NFS storage is
still needed, 1 box at least...)


Cheers.
Andrija

Well, than folow my thread here on mailing list, I just sent new email :)

I'm trying to move IP from 1 NFS box to another, with rsync running before
that...so there is no change in NFS IP noticed from ACS side...

cheers

Hello,

Thanks, this citrix article describe a way to migrate in really dirty 
way, with downtime, with I can't afford.
