How I moved a GroupWise domain from one Linux server to another.

I set up an OES2 Linux server with X11 only and NCP:

Create NCP shares, use NoRM or ncpcon

Volume: opt_novell = Path: /opt/novell

Volume: var_opt_novell = Path: /var/opt/novell

On the existing source box:

shutdown GroupWise, /etc/init.d/grpwise stop
tar /etc/opt/novell/groupwise
1. cd /etc/opt/novell
2. tar -zcvf groupwise.tgz groupwise
copy groupwise.tgz to the new destination box
- scp groupwise.tgz root@destination.box.ipaddress:/etc/opt/novell
tar /opt/novell/groupwise

cd /opt/novell
tar -zcvf groupwise.tgz groupwise

copy groupwise.tgz to the new destination box
- scp groupwise.tgz root@destination.box.ipaddress:/opt/novell
tar /var/opt/novell/groupwise

cd /var/opt/novell
tar -zcvf groupwise.tgz groupwise

copy groupwise.tgz to the new destination box
- scp groupwise.tgz root@destination.box.ipaddress:/var/opt/novell
On the new destination box:
1. untar /etc/opt/novell/groupwise
1. cd /etc/opt/novell
2. tar -zxvf groupwise.tgz
untar /opt/novell/groupwise

cd /opt/novell
tar -zxvf groupwise.tgz

untar /var/opt/novell/groupwise

cd /var/opt/novell
tar -zxvf groupwise.tgz

Create the link for to start GroupWise

ln -s /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/bin/grpwise /etc/init.d/grpwise

Verify all the settings in your agents files, /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/share
Open the needed ports in the firewall
Make any needed IP or DNS address changes in ConsoleOne
Set GroupWise to start automatically, chkconfig grpwise on

Nice post. Some details of the "Make any needed IP or DNS address changes in ConsoleOne" would be useful.

Good point, since I was writing it as a blog I just made it a bit higher level and hoped people would know IP addresses can and are set in both config files and/or ConsoleOne.

Also note that the GroupWise rpm's will not show up in your rpm database when using this method.
