You have to: - stop the instance cleanly in the old OpenStack ("halt" in the shell) - create a snapshot of the root volume of the stopped instance - any snapshop and image is synced automatically to the new OpenStack deployment - in the new OpenStack cloud, boot an instance from the snapshot - associate a IP address - update your DNA A record, if any. ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Robert Olson [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2014 3:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Release-team] magellan I understand that the essex instances are all getting killed tomorrow. Does anyone have experience in directly bringing across instances? I think the production genome annotation is still running there so we may lose it for a while. Who knows what else we may lose as well. _______________________________________________ Release-team mailing list [email protected] https://lists.kbase.us/mailman/listinfo/release-team
