Pre Migration steps:
Setup server. By this I mean call your Sysadmin or VMWare admin and beg for a server. You'll need it to have some prerequisites. The easiest way to figure out what those prerequisites are is to do the following:
- Download RDA (Remote Diagnostic Agent) from support.oracle.com
- Install and run this command on the newly minted server:
./rda.sh -T hcve
- Select the option for e-Business Suite and your environment and review the results.
- Send the results to your sysadmin. Maybe even suggest he fix them. Ideally, ask for a VM image to be made after all the fixes are in place so it can be a template for future moves.
Migration Steps:
- Run rsync on the source to sync up your file systems. Use --bwlimit and -z if you are worried about network saturation. This can run overnight well in advance.
cd / rsync -avzr --progress --bwlimit=200 u01/ applmgr@mid-ebsdev01:/u01/
- Stop the services and run rsync again during your outage window:
cd / rsync -avr --progress u01/ applmgr@mid-ebsdev01:/u01/
- Have your sysadmin change the hostname and IP address of the new server to that of the source.
- Relink all the things
cd $AD_TOP/bin adrelink.sh force=y "ad adadmin"
adadmin
2->1 "Relink Applications programs"
- Review the log from step 4.
- Restart services
Restart the database
Start application services
