Part one of the exercise doesn't affect the present server. The new one needs operating system, management software, RAID configuration and bulleting board intallation.
Only when that's all done, dusted and satisfactory will the bit you're not looking forward start.
Sorry if losing PPRuNe is not your idea of a nice weekend but it works best for us. Traffic is actually at its lightest. Lots of regulars working and others at least attempting to have a life. Conversely though it seems to be the time when a lot of folks go 'exploring' and discover us as registrations always peak over the weekend.
The other reason is that Danny disappears to the colonies at the beginning of next week for a bit of a lie down - it will be well deserved methinks.
