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.
Legacy filesystems may not be the best option for an SSD -- a fresh
install using btrfs may be beneficial.
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?
Without understanding key issues:
1) How expensive is downtime when you have to replace the SSD and
restore backups?
2) How complex is the software configuration? Does it rely on older versions
and/or lots of 3rd party packages making configuration a lengthy task?
3) Is the data mostly static or is there lots of churn?
