Migrating 1.4.17 to 1.5.0 help

  • Hi, Marcel

    I have a local server with 5TB of images, using firebird database withh odbc.

    It has:

    # Configuration of disk(s) to store images

    MAGDeviceThreshhold = 0

    MAGDeviceFullThreshHold = 100

    IgnoreMAGDeviceThreshold = 0

    MAGDevices = 2

    MAGDevice0 = F:\dicomserver\data\

    MAGDevice1 = H:\dicomserver\Data\

    NightlyCleanThreshhold = 0

    where MAGDevice0 is a 4TB disk and MAGDevice1 is a 3TB disk



    I´d like to migrate all data to a new server with 1.5.0:

    It will be

    # Configuration of disk(s) to store images

    MAGDeviceThreshhold = 0

    MAGDeviceFullThreshHold = 100

    IgnoreMAGDeviceThreshold = 0

    MAGDevices = 2

    MAGDevice0 = D:\data\

    MAGDevice1 = E:\Data\

    NightlyCleanThreshhold = 0

    where MAGDevice0 is a 500GB disk and MAGDevice1 is a 10TB disk


    As you can see the volume devices have differents capacities.

    Please, How can I do it?

    Can you give me a step by step.

  • A possibilility:


    First copy all data from the 3TB disk to the 10TB disk. Then use the 10TB disk as Magdevice1 in the old server. Then use open below xxx MB copy data to MAG1 to free space in the old 4TB disk. Once it is reduced you can copy the 4Tb disk to the 500Gb disk.


    The same database should work in 1.5.0. You can just test this out by installing an instance and creating the ODBC entry and map the drives.


    Once you have that allright you can move the software to the new server.

  • Thank you very much Mr Marcel.

    Another question, I saw in old post you show a comand using dgate to Regen a specific mag device. But I am not finding where. Can you post it here again?
