[Casper] Migration

[Thomas Larkin]

I just did a full export of my old JSS and then imported on the new
server last summer, pretty painless procedure to be honest.

Hi-

I’ve gotten a brandy new Xserve in house (oh she’s a beast) and will be
planning server migration soon.  I’ve read through the migration bit in
the documentation and it seems straightforward enough, though I have two
questions:

Is there anything “out of the ordinary” that people ran into during a
migration that they weren’t expecting? 

I currently employ a two server strategy – one for the JSS, one for the
SUS – but the new server is certainly beefy enough to do double duty. 
Ideally, I’d like to go “big bang” and get it all done in one fell
swoop, reassigning everyone’s SUS to the new JSS.  Advisable? 
Pros/Cons?


FYI, the JSS uses DNS rather than direct IP so cutover is a breeze.
