USI Server Migration


Quick View
Summary: 

The University Technology Office has acquired desktop and operations technical support staff for University Student Initiatives. To better serve UTO and USI and to minimize support costs, consolidation of USI servers is needed.

Since all of the USI servers are already in the UTO data center, the project entails moving all USI servers to UTO servers and/or decommissioning no longer needed servers. Collaboration between UTO Ops and USI Web Admins & DBAs will ensure the web, database and java servers maintain functionality and support. USI file servers will be moved into CIFS space, by CC USI Deskside Support. Other specific application servers will be addressed as needed, with the necessary parties involved.

Scope: 

This project entails moving all USI servers to UTO servers and/or decommissioning no longer needed servers. Collaboration between UTO Ops and USI Web Admins & DBAs will ensure the web, database and java servers maintain functionality and support.

All Milestones and Schedule: 

Phase I - This first phse of this project is to document what applications/services are available on each server, and how to best migrate these from USI servers to UTOs enterprise server environment. In order to accomplish this, Andrew Giddings is being requested to facilitate allowing the UTO domain admins access to the USI servers so they can be documented. This needs to be done before next week. Andrew has given us access, and documentation is in progress. Documentation is to be completed by 6/5. The next meeting is being scheduled for next week to discuss and plan which applications/services will be moved and in which order. Keeping in mind this needs to be at a time when it will be least disruptive to the customers.


Phase II
- This will be the execution/implementation of the plan that will be derived from Phase I (more details to come). --Completed

  • 7/15 USI print server/file serve printers prepared on sa01 -- completed
  • 7/18 copy to asuprint1 7/20 start migration of printers - target date for completion -- completed
  • 8/6 7/20 start migration of storage from USI file server to UTO -- completed
  • 8/6 target date for completion -- completed

Phase III - Move USI file servers into CIFS space, this will be the decomissioning of the USI servers.

  • File Server migration of customer shared folders to ITFS1 -- has been completed
  • Applications to be migrated:
    • TMA for Res Life

Phase IV - Move USI file server data to CIFS space or elsewhere on UTO resources.

Deliverables: 
  • Consolidate USI servers
  • Move all USI servers to UTO servers
  • Decommission servers that are no longer needed
  • Move USI file servers into CIFS space
