Migration LMS 3.2 to 4.1

[hansruedi.spycher1]

Hi,

Customer likes to migrate from lms 3.2 to lms 4.1. Current lms 3.1 runs on solaris. New installation shut run on windows.

They would like to setup the windows server with new ip and name. After the new lms 4.1 is running, customer would like to shutdown the old lms 3.2.

Now they would like to change the ip address and name on the new lms 4.1 to ip address and name from the old lms 3.2.

I know there is script to change the name on the lms installation. But I'm not sure this approach is strongly recommended.

I would like to avoid any trouble from changing the name of the of fresh installed system.

Thank you for any answers.

So what you want to do is following :

> Install LMS 4.1 on Windows

> Decomission LMS 3.2

> Rename hostname and IP for LMS 4.2 to same as older LMS 3.2

IP change is not a problem, but for hostname change you should run NMSROOT\bin\hostnamechange.pl script.
