Because of the IP licenses the old one has a fixed IP that is internal to the building 10.xx.x.xxx Can we use fixed IP addresses in this range or will we have to change? Also I am fairly new to doing Linux things so is there a set of instructions for the actual exporting? If so what are they? Can I plug an ethernet cable directly between the two servers?

If both are K12LTSP server then you will have to change IP address of old server to something different from 192.168.0.254 but within 192.168.0.xxx range. Next you will have to export /home directory in /etc/exports (normally this involves removing the # from line already present in the file if you are using standard k12LTSP install) Restart service network and nfs to give effect to your changes, no need to re-boot for every change like the wordly wise M$ product we all know. On the new server make a directory say "makdir /home/oldserver" Run "mount 192.168.0.xxx:/home /home/oldserver" You will see the old directory when you "ls -l /home/oldserver" Copy the files by "cp -fR /home/oldserver/* /home/." Unmount the old server "umount 192.168.0.xxx:/home" and shut it off! Caution: This is assuming all UID and GID are perserved across both server. Look at eralier posts on how to copy passwd, shadow and group files in /etc directory. HTH </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
