Moving domino server to another platform.

Notes/Domino 8 Forum

Subject:

Hi :)
My opinion about this is that you can "probably" move a domino server to another supported platform doing something like this :

1) copy the data directory to the "new" platform
2) check for any os needed fixes or requirements for the domino server ( better to move to the same version)
3) install it making the installer point at the data directory (this should make the domino instaler act as a upgrade install)

The basic old rule for move or "save" a server was to store at least five files : server.id, admin.id, cert.id ,notes.ini, names.nsf.

Domino ,since its name was only Notes ,acts like a guest on the os (ex. in windows there aren't any DLL wasted inside the os paths ,so you can get the full domino path copy to another system, reinstall the same version and you will have again the server working!)

I have a Sametime server on my Iseries and i will move it to a windows platform soon :) i am sure that it will works!
Hope this helps :)
