2. Patch releases are a vailable on HP-UX 9.0 and m ust be installed on the HP 9000 S700 or S800 clien t. The patch release numbers are phne 3502 (for S700) and phne 2288 (for S800).

3.Remote loopbac k must be enabled on the serv er machine for the conversion of NS node name to ARPA host name to w ork. The implemen tation of the MIGRATE ALIAS command on the HP 9000 S700 and S800 mak es a connection to the remote loopbac k service on the serv er. To setup remote loopbac k on an HP 9000 S700 or S800, the remote loopback daemon, /etc/rlbdaemon, should be started in the /etc/netlinkrc startup script.

For more information on the rlbdaemon, refer to the HP-UX Reference - Vol 3 . On an HP 3000, loopbac k should already be started. If not, issue the command NETCONTROL START;NET=LOOP . For more information see the HP 3000/iX Network Planning and Con￿guration Guide .

The migration commands create t wo ￿les, a migration log ￿le and a serv er list ￿le.

Migration Log File

Every time you execute and sa ve the changes from MIGRATE ALIAS, MIGRATE USER, MIGRATE ALIAS BACKWARD, OR MIGRATE USER BACKWARD, the migrate log ￿le HPDAMIG.PUB.SYS is appended. If the ￿le does not exist it is created.

After migration is successfully , you can delete the follo wing temporary ￿les:DAALFMBK.PUB.SYSTMPALMBK.PUB.SYSDAUSFMBK.PUB.SYSTMPUSMBK.PUB.SYSHPDAMIG.PUB.SYSTMPMIG.PUB.SYSDASVRLST.PUB.SYSDASVRMBK.PUB.SYSTMPSVMBK.PUB.SYS

Here is a sample log ￿le for a clien t. The MIGRATE ALIAS BACKWARD command returns the AliasDB ￿le to its state before the 3:35 PM migration.
