Re: DR and IXS -- MIDRANGE-L

You will want to:

Unlink all the storage from your NWSD

Copy your C: storage space to another space. You can do this withCRTNWSSTG or just create a new smaller drive and move the files from/qfpnwsstg/your_space to the new one. (Much quicker!)

Delete the C: and D: storage spaces
Delete the NWSD

Proceed to INSWNTSVR. This is needed to get the OS version in therecorrectly both on C: and in the NWSD.

Link the original C: as E:/F: etc to recover anything from it that youmay need.

Thanks for the help.  One more question. If it is a different card, and we
have to re-install the OS, will we first need to delete the NWSD or can we

just go straight into the INSWNTSVR?

I'm trying to figure out what we will need to do but it's a little difficult

without anywhere to test.

Thanks again for all the help!

Weeeeeel not the *ONLY Trick :-)

Based on *experience you will want to be absolutely sure that you use
the Restore to Different System option (ALWOBJDIF(*ALL)) or you will
have a major problem with the C: and D: Drives, as in they will not be
there. All your other storage will be OK but C: will be replaced with a
small partition that boots into, are you ready: DOS!

It's likely in this scenario that you would use ALWOBJDIF(*ALL) anyway
but in case you blow it, and don't this will cause you pain., The pain
is exacerbated by the fact that the /qfpnwsstg/ directory where the
*NWSSTG space lives is almost always near the end of your tapes......

Also remember that you cannot simply do a CRTNWSD and then vary it on
becuase in the install process that thing gets updated with the version
of Windows on the server and it needs to know that for vary on
processing. So Trevor's comment about keeping the source around for
documentation is exactly correct, it's only documentation.
