Transfer partition from one server to another
Shell Script (Bash) posted 11 months ago by christian
The following is an example of how to transfer a partition from one server to another.
In the example, I first create a file containing the partition, and then transfer the partition to the other server.
1 dd if=/dev/xen-1/aktagon.com-disk of=/tmp/file 2 scp /tmp/file username@host:/file
I then SSH to the other server and create the partition from the file.
1 ssh host 2 lvcreate -L 4G /dev/VG00/aktagon.com-disk 3 cat aktagon.com-disk.bz2 > /dev/aktagon-1/aktagon.com-disk
Remember to create a backup before running these commands.
