Migration Examples

Example 9-1 Migrating a Guest Domain

This example shows how to migrate the ldg1 domain to a machine called t5440-sys-2.

# ldm migrate-domain ldg1 t5440-sys-2
Target Password:

To perform this migration without being prompted for the target machine password, use the following command:

# ldm migrate-domain -p pfile ldg1 t5440-sys-2

The -p option takes a file name as an argument. The specified file contains the superuser password for the target machine. In this example, pfile contains the password for the target machine, t5440-sys-2.

Example 9-2 Migrating and Renaming a Guest Domain

This example shows how to rename a domain as part of the migration operation. The ldg-src domain on the source machine is renamed to ldg-tgt on the target machine (t5440-sys-2) as part of the migration. In addition, the ldm-admin user is used for authentication on the target machine.

# ldm migrate ldg-src ldm-admin@t5440-sys-2:ldg-tgt
Target Password:

Example 9-3 Migration Failure Message

This example shows the error message that you might see if the target machine does not support the latest migration functionality.

# ldm migrate ldg1 dt212-346
Target Password:
The target machine is running an older version of the domain
manager that does not support the latest migration functionality.

Upgrading to the latest software will remove restrictions on
a migrated domain that are in effect until it is rebooted.
Consult the product documentation for a full description of
these restrictions.

The target machine is running an older version of the domain manager
that is not compatible with the version running on the source machine.

Example 9-4 Obtaining the Migration Status for the Domain on the Target Machine

This example shows how to obtain the status on a migrated domain while a migration is in progress. In this example, the source machine is t5440-sys-1.

# ldm list -o status ldg-tgt
NAME
ldg-tgt
 
STATUS
    OPERATION    PROGRESS    SOURCE
    migration    55%         t5440-sys-1

Example 9-5 Obtaining the Parseable Migration Status for the Domain on the Source Machine

This example shows how to obtain the parseable status on the domain being migrated while a migration is in progress. In this example, the target machine is t5440-sys-2.

# ldm list -o status -p ldg-src
VERSION 1.6
DOMAIN|name=ldg-src|
STATUS
|op=migration|progress=42|error=no|target=t5440-sys-2
