Moving Computers from Server to Server

Assign the Symantec LiveState Delivery Move Computer Configuration File (mvwkst71.mul) package to the computer on the source server you want to move.

In the Set Parameters dialog box, set the Symantec LiveState Delivery Server name and the Server-IP for the target server.

The Server-IP parameter field appears when you specify the Symantec LiveState Delivery Server and click OK.

WARNING: Computer data may be lost if you fail to set the target server name and IP address here.

Parameter Name	Parameter Value
Symantec LiveState Delivery Server	<name of target server>
Server-IP address of Symantec LiveState Delivery Server	<IP address of target server>

Connect the target server.
In the Scope pane, expand the source server name to display the computers in the Result pane.
In the Result pane, select the computers you want to move and drag them to the target server item in the Scope pane.
In the Move Computers dialog box that lists the computers to be moved, click OK.
An Activity window opens, displaying the status of the computers during the various stages of the move process.
If the computer is in Push-Only mode, then the Agent for Windows must be manually refreshed on the computer.

Note: You can manually refresh the Agent for Windows by rebooting the computer, or clicking Refresh in the Agent for Windows dialog box on the computer.

Manually copy any information you want to keep from the computer's original HOME directory to its new HOME directory on the target server.

Moving Computers from Server to Server

There may be times when you want to move a computer from one Configuration Server to another.

When you do this, Symantec LiveState Delivery deletes the selected computers from the source server and integrates them on the target server. The computer configuration, including packages and hardware jobs, are also integrated on the target server.

The packages that are installed on the computers of the source server, must reside on the target server. If one or more packages is not on the target server, the computer cannot be moved.

Warning: Failure to follow the specific tasks to move a computer may result in the irreversible loss of computer data from Symantec LiveState Delivery. Be sure that all tasks have been completed, and have a status of DONE before attempting to move a computer.
