Software Storage Migration

As operating systems have evolved, an area of great improvement are the multiple options available to a user for system storage. Advanced storage solutions are designed to increase I/O performance, enhance system availability, and improve storage expandability. The problem for users then becomes how to take advantage of the features and how to easily migrate a live system to utilize them.

SBAdmin provides Adaptable System Recovery (ASR), which includes the unique ability to rebuild a system from bare-metal and allow the user to make changes to the system's storage configuration. The SBAdmin System Installation and Maintenance Menus provide an intuitive and easy-to-use interface which is used to migrate your system's storage.

Typical storage migration tasks supported by ASR:
  • Migrate from JFS filesystems to JFS2 on an AIX system
  • Migrate from partition-based Linux system to Logical Volume Manager (LVM)
  • Migrate from UFS filesystems to ZFS on a Solaris system
  • Add or remove filesystems to better organize and improve disk operations
  • Change filesystem sizes to reclaim disk space
  • Add mirroring to improve system availability
  • Implement RAID using Solaris Volume Manager or Linux Software RAID
