hi!

 you can move the Eprints documents directory in an NFS exported share in the VM server and mount them in the same path in the physical and ancient server, then move the SQL database in the new VM, and reconfigure the Eprints instance in the physical and ancient server to use the new SQL database in the VM.

 So only the code will run on the physical and ancient machine while the data will be in the VM.

Hello,

I was not involved with the creation of our two Eprints repositories but now I handle their basic maintenance. Someone in campus IT deals with server-side maintenance. We have two servers; one is physical and ancient while the other is a VM. The physical server houses our electronic theses/dissertations; the VM houses our syllabi. I would like to move all the metadata and document files off the physical server and over to the VM both because the server itself could fail and because it makes no sense to have two machines going. What plug-in or module or process would we use in order to do that?

 

Thank you,

~Elizabeth
