41.1.6 Moving the MTA to a Different Server
As your GroupWise system grows and evolves, you might need to move an MTA from one server to
another. For example, you might decide to run the MTA on a different platform, or perhaps you want
to move it to a server that has more disk space for the mslocal directory.
1
Stop the existing MTA.
2 Copy the entire
mslocal
subdirectory structure to wherever you want it on the new server. It
might contain messages that have not yet been delivered.
3 When moving the MTA, pay special attention to the following details:
Š
In the MTA startup file, set the /work switch to the location of the mslocal directory on the
new server.
Š
If the original MTA was configured for TCP/IP links between domains, you must
reconfigure the MTA object with the IP address and port number for the MTA on the new
server. See
“Using TCP/IP Links between Domains” on page 618 .
Š
For the NetWare
®
MTA, if it was originally on the same server where its domain and post
offices are located and you are moving it to a different server, you must add the /dn switch
or the /user and /password switches to the MTA startup file to give the NetWare MTA
access to the server where the domain and post offices are located.
4 Install the MTA on the new server. See “ Installing GroupWise Agents ” in the GroupWise 7
Installation Guide .
5 Start the new MTA, as described in the following sections in the GroupWise 7 Installation
Guide :
Š
“ Starting the NetWare GroupWise Agents ”
Š
“ Starting the Linux Agents with a User Interface ”
Š
“ Starting the Windows GroupWise Agents ”
6 Observe the new MTA to see that it is running smoothly. See Chapter 42, “Monitoring the
MTA,” on page 645 .
7 If you are no longer using the old server for any GroupWise agents, you can remove the agents
to reclaim the disk space, as described in the following sections in the
GroupWise 7 Installation
Guide :
Š
“ Uninstalling the NetWare GroupWise Agents ”
Š “ Uninstalling the Linux GroupWise Agents ”
Š
“ Uninstalling the Windows GroupWise Agents ”
