Any Unix gurus out there? I have an iso sitting on a server. I need to copy the iso over to another server. I want to move the whole directory so the mount command I use on the old server will work on the new one.

I just use discs but try "furious iso mount."

And un-mounting, just pick the directory you want it at on the new server

 

[Cjw_55106]

Thanks Bri, but I doubt Id get admin rights to do that.

I should note that this iso sits on a server and I use it to make the installs on different servers...if that makes sense.

 

[belljr]

Not sure I understand. Are you trying to just copy an entire directory from one server to another?

Are they different version of Unix....

 

[Cjw_55106]

I have software loaded onto a server. I use a mount command on a different server to mount the software:

mount -o vers=3 <severname>:/opt/CA/agent1135_media/agent1135_media /mnt/r11

<severname> being where the iso sits.

I want the iso to sit on a different server. How do I get it there?

Both servers are AIX

scp

I didnt realize you can scp between two servers. I always did it from my desktop to the server.

Im no Unix man!

Well it does depend on how things are setup but ....

Aww ####. Nothing screws me more than "it depends".

how about an NFS share and put your install there in the same NFS mount on all new servers and then just run the same script to install

That's what he's currently doing with that mount command.

Yeah, I dont know enough to argue details, but this seems similar.

scp or rsync. usually anywhere you can ssh , you can scp.

 

[Cjw_55106]

Thanks all. I'll make a run at this tomorrow.

Ah - got it. I thought he was trying to move his install to a new server and then do the install from there

 

[bostonfred]

You down with scp?

 

[The Commish]

scp, sftp, ftp....all depends on what's installed on the servers to do transfers. Just tar it up and use whatever protocol you have available.

I always name my drives Jessica Alba so I can type "mount Jessica Alba"

 

[belljr]

"ENABLE TELNET"

On old server:

scp -r /directory user@newserver:/directory

directory on new server should be created first and have same permissions as old.

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

On old server:

scp -r /directory user@newserver:/directory

directory on new server should be created first and have same permissions as old.

Assuming you have the same group/user hierarchy on server1 as the server2, using -p with scp will preserve the file attributes.

scp -rp /directory user@newserver:/directory

rm -r *

will fix everything

ldunixjoke:

Please don't do that

 

[BrutalPenguin]

rm -r *

will fix everything

ldunixjoke:

Please don't do that

rm -rf /*

will fix even more things....

On old server:

scp -r /directory user@newserver:/directory

Then you gotta export the directory so it can be mounted yo

Yes, NFS sharing would need to be configured.

 

[DrJ]

On old server:

scp -r /directory user@newserver:/directory

directory on new server should be created first and have same permissions as old.

You could always do something like this:

tar cvf - <directory> | ssh <newserver> "(cd <where you want to put it>;tar xvf -)"

This will create the directory, retain all of the permissions, etc.

 

[belljr]

Chown that sob

 

[DrJ]

rm -r *

will fix everything

ldunixjoke:

rm -rf /*

You can also do rm -rf .*

This will match the .. directory in your current directory, start traversing upwards, and blow away the entire system as well.
