migrating JSS to new server

[tlarkin]

So, I got my new servers in and want to migrate my JSS to my new awesome intel xeon xserve. I am exporting the MySQL database now.

When I set up the JSS at home for when I want to take my work home I just installed JSS with the setup utility and then imported my exported database and it seemed to pick everything up.

Any tips or caveats or anything else I should know in doing this? I will be upgrading to version 6 as well, so I can just import my version 5.13 into 6 with out any issues?

I was beta testing 6 at home and it worked for me at home, but this is a live environment so I would like any feed back anyone can give me.

Thanks

If you are migrating you also have to remove the top two keys from the
config file on the server,
(System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.jamfsoftware.tomcat.plist)

I did call in to get this help because we couldn't start the Tomcat
portion of the server without doing this. Apparently the fix is coming
but you will have to manually do this. My instructions aren't quite
together enough to send so I recommend putting in a call to tech
support.

Got it done last night all is well but I forgot to transfer some packages. Which is actually ok because I had some bad habits which were fixed at the cca training back in june. It was easy and straight forward. I just upgraded the old one to 6 the created a full back up. Set up new server with afp and raid then installed the jss and restored the back up and voila all done. A very painless procedure.

Yes...yes it is...

Don't you wish everything was that easy?
