VCS Cluster 4.1 - hasnap utility : change configuration before starting up imported snapshot
Hi All,
I have to migrate a vcs from an oldproduction environment to the newone.
All configurations are identical except @IP, mounting filer and all traditionnals parameters.
I have never used this command but just a try to backup and I doesn't know in detail the technical architecture.
So, with a hasnap -backup and restore from the old to the know,
I want to change the main.cf before all and so start vcs on the newone (with temporarely endpoints filer whichs attack other filer).
But I DO NOT want vcs starts automaticaly because the endpoint filer are reachable since both vcs.
If the newcluster automaticaly starts, it will make a disaster with the real old vcs environement which is in production.
Any help about this tool pls ?
Thks a lot,
Christophe, FR

There are several things you can do to stop VCS starting automatically:
1 or 2 is sufficient, but I often do more being paranoid. I don't think hasnap is really suitable as this is for taking snapshot so that you can restore back to snapshot of you make changes and then want to undo changes. I would just copy main.cf to new cluster and amend if you need to.
