Summary
The virtualisation project (10 servers down to 4) is now well underway with a number of servers already decommissioned including:
- The AD Master/Old Exchange 2000/MailArchiver Server
- The Print Server
- An old Terminal Services Server
What is left?
The web server has largely been moved across to a virtual server now – in fact all the existing web sites have now been relocated so theoretically that should be that but life’s not always like that is it?
I also need to move:
- the FTP software and associated scripts for EDI purposes
- a SQL instance with old MailArchiver databases upon it which need migrating off
- an EDI AS2 package upon it that at some point needs reviewing
- HP Jetadmin
- WIFI Admin software
Work Ahead
In the short term I am going to remove Jetadmin and the Wi-Fi Software, then try and migrate all the SQL databases onto the new SQL server – should be easy but I bet it isn’t!
I then plan to move the ftp software and scripts off the web server and get that going on a new image
I’ve decided to take the step of moving all the builds up to R2 level – this won’t be easy especially Storage Server on the DL380 which at this point in time I’m not even sure it supports it – but we like a challenge don’t we?
