Moving a server

Moving a server

Before even think about moving anything - have the applications been tested on the new server? They could contain hardcoded references to the current server or could contain links to external data sources (like SQL) - that's all stuff that could break if you run it on a server with a different name.

It would make life easier if you could just bring up the new server with the same Domino name as the old server when it's time to go live - I appreciate that you're moving to a new datacentre and the IP addresses won't be the same but you should be able to use DNS so that the clients can resolve the servername at the new datacentre.

Alternately, if there are no problems with changing the Domino servername then you could consider putting the old and new servers into a Cluster right now - this way the users would simply failover to the new server once the old one is shut down.
