36.1.5 Moving the POA to a Different Server

As your GroupWise system grows and evolves, you might need to move a POA from one server to
another. For example, you might decide to run the POA on a different platform, or perhaps you want
to move it to a server that has more memory.
1 When moving the POA, pay special attention to the following details:
For a POA configured for client/server processing, reconfigure the POA object with the
new IP address and port number for the POA to use on the new server. See
"Using Client/Server Access to the Post Office," on page
For the NetWare POA, if it was originally on the same server where the post office is
located and you are moving it to a different server, add the
password
where the post office is located. You can also provide user and password information on
the Post Office Settings page.
2 Install the POA on the new server, as described in
GroupWise 8 Installation
3 Start the new POA, as described in the following sections in the
Guide:
"Starting the NetWare GroupWise
"Starting the Linux Agents with a User
"Starting the Windows GroupWise
4 Observe the new POA to see that it is running smoothly, as described in
"Monitoring the POA," on page
5 Stop the old POA.
6 If you are no longer using the old server for any GroupWise agents, you can remove them to
reclaim the disk space, as described in the following sections in the
Guide:
"Uninstalling the NetWare GroupWise
"Uninstalling the Linux GroupWise
"Uninstalling the Windows GroupWise

36.1.6 Adjusting the POA for a New Post Office Location

If you move a post office from one server to another, you also need to edit the POA startup file to
provide the new location of the post office directory.
1 Stop the POA for the old post office location if it is still running.
2 Use an ASCII text editor to edit the POA startup file.
The POA startup file is named after the post office name, plus a .poa extension.
