Re: Problem migrating IXS

You didn't do the proper planning sad to say. The issue is that the Windoze kernel that was required (and therefore installed) on your 2890 model is not compatible with the processor on the new 4812 model. You must reload windoze that's the only way out. Once loaded though you can attach the old NWSSTG objects and copy any data that's on them but Windoze and your apps need to be reloaded.
Now should the B/R guide have helped you plan? No argument there! However there is information on the windows integration pages that describe this issue quite clearly.
As you likely have guessed Windoze does not have support for all processors in their kernel as does i5/OS, they only load what's needed now and there isn't a way to tell it to load more for use later. Bummer.

It *seemed* like the Backup and Recovery guide steps would not only migrate the basic OS from the "old" 270 but also the NWSD I had, but after I migrated the objects from the 270 to 520, changed the resource references in the NWSD and attempted to vary on the server, I got an error: Resource name LIN05 not valid for reason code 10, secondary code 2.
Basically it *acts* like it is going to start, I get the BIOS displays and IBM logo showing, memory test, etc but then on the i5 console I get the message. It indicates that the 4812 is not compatible with the original file server (which on the 270 is a 2890 I think).
Is there a way to migrate this Windows 2000 Small Business Server running on the IXS or is Bill Gates going to hand me the ONLY problem I have in moving from this 270 to the i5 520? 

Thanks,
