probably won't work since the hardware is different... may be a way to restore it to VM though
Unfortunately our product is not validated on in a VM right now.
My customer runs an IBM shop, our application is on a Dell server and we have since moved to HP for our deployments. Their server has zero storage left so they are down. I am going to suggest moving forward with EMC's diskXtender product to utilize their SAN to increase their storage but needed a short term solution to get them up and running and trying to think of easiest solutions.
Ideas:
1. Have them build a new server with additional storage and figure out if there is a way to migrate a backup to a new brand (IBM) This isn't looking good.
2. Send them a second production server which would be an obvious headache as their new data and old data would be on separate instances thus requiring having to go back and forth (i don't like this option)
3. move some image files over to a secondary storage for a short time. Implement diskXtender and slowly move the images back to the primary folders so that Xtender and index them and archive.
4. Adding additional HDD's to the current server. This would require backing up everything, installing hdd's and redoing the RAID array. (i dont like this either.
Are there other possibilities that I havent thought of?
