Plastic Server change with same DB.

[nic]

Hi,

We configured our working environment into this way : We have the plastic server on a first physical server named let say "SRV01", and it is using a second physical server named "SQL01" for storing Repository and workspace Data.

for performance upgrade, we are replacing the plastic server for a third physical one, let say "SRV02".

Will the move be as simple as : installing plastic on SRV02, copying the db.conf from SRV01 to SRV02 and change the client configuration file on the dev workstation to connect to SRV02 ? Or is there some more manipulations to data & workspace to do ?

Thanks a lot for any hints

Nic.

Hello Nic.

First of all I recommend to backup server databases. Then, you must follow these steps:

IMPORTANT NOTE: You must clean all checkouts. None of the repositories must have a checkout.

1. Open a command line (Start --> Execute --> cmd)

2. Type the following command 'cm lregrep'.

3. Copy the list of all your repositories. You only must remember the repository name (the first column)

NOTE: Don't stop PlasticSCM server at SRV01!

4. Install PlasticSCM server at SRV02. Configure the client installed on SRV02 to work against SRV02 (or localhost, is the same)

NOTE: Don't check the start server checkbox when you finalize the installation

5. Copy db.conf file from SRV01 to SRV02 server installation dir.

6. Start PlasticSCM server at SRV02

7. Open a command line in SRV02

8. For each repository:

8.1 Type the following command: 'cm editregrep rep_name rep:rep_name@repserver:SRV02:8084 (if your installation port is 8084), where rep_name is each repository name. For example, if you have a repository called myrep you must type:

cm editregrep myrep rep:myrep@repserver:SRV02:8084

9. Change all clients configuration to work against SRV02

10. Now you can stop PlasticSCM server at SRV01
