Sybase version 15.7 migration

[Mark_A_Parsons]

Hello Experts,

In one of the old Datacenter there are few sybase ASE 15.7 servers on physical machines, planning to migrate all sybase ASE to new datacenter AS IS on physical machines,

I was looking at the best possible approach,

Approach 1:

a) build physical machines

b) install Linux

c) install sybase 15.7

d) backup database from old DC and restore databases to new DC.

e) backup logins from old DC restore to new DC

Approach 2:

I heard from one of the Sybase guy that there is some way of migration sybase ASE which can reduce sybase building efforts and backup restore efforts alot, there is some way which can copy the same sybase stuffs from old server to new server. just wanted to know about this approach like what it is if any body can explain or guide

Thanks in advance

I would suggest you ask that 'Sybase guy' for details of what s/he is talking about.

thanks Tony,

is there a way by copying complete volumes or filesystem from source servers( old datacenter )to target server (New datacenter)? lets consider standalone sybase instance first?

can you share the content of system copy as i am not able to go to shared links.

can it be used to migrate sybase ASE 15.7 (standalone) on linux machine.
