Moving the clients

If you move clients from a non-clustered IBM Storage Protect server computer to a clustered one, you can slowly move your users to the new system and not interrupt services. However, you must have the correct hardware to run two IBM Storage Protect servers simultaneously.

About this task

You can move clients in either of the following ways:

You can register clients with the new clustered IBM Storage Protect server. Have them complete a full backup of their data to the clustered server. When you are sure that the client data is safely on the clustered server, that client can be deleted from the old server. When all clients are moved to the clustered server, the old server can be eliminated.
You can export the clients from the old server and import those clients into the clustered server. After you verify that a client's data is on the clustered server, you can delete that client from the old server. After you import all clients to the clustered server, you can delete the old server.
