Hi Everyone,

I have a Fedora Server running F40 on an old Proliant G5 with hardware
RAID1. The machine is giving too much trouble so I would like to
migrate to newer hardware with a single SSD. Both machines are x86_64.

I've been researching methods to perform the migration, but I am not
clear on the strategy. Some folks say provide a method and say it
works, other folks say it does not work. I think I have hit
diminishing returns on reading from the web.

I am planning on using Clonezilla to clone the image to a portable
drive, and then restore the image from the portable drive to the new
machine. I've had success with Clonezilla in the past, but I restored
to the same machine.

Does anyone have experience with a migration like this? If so, can you
provide feedback?


I did that for a couple of machines some times back. It can range from simple, albeit with a tedious number of steps, to extremely complicated and error-prone.

Cloning is probably not an option here. Your old machine is a BIOS system, I guess, your newer one should be an UEFI system. And in any case, you should migrate from deprecated MBR partitioning to GPT, if you haven’t already done.

The details depend largely on how your current storage is organized. Did you follow the Fedora Server recommendation? If you are using LVM as recommended, it’s quite easy. So it might be helpful it you post a fdisk listing.
