Data Center Physical Device Migration Experience Sharing

Hello, everyone. 

Nice to meet you again.


I wonder if you have encountered any relocation equipment in your work.


I think this must be a painful experience, but also a valuable experience, such as moving your home that need to plan how to classify items, how to pack, how to move and so on。


Recently, we have completed the physical migration of the company's data center. I want to share some of your experiences and hope to help you.


  1. The new equipment room must be constructed first. Perform the lightning protection and grounding, power distribution, and distribution networks in the new equipment room in advance, and ensure that the new equipment room is properly decorated and cleaned and ventilated and ventilated.

  2. The equipment and cables in the old equipment room must be counted and numbered and recorded into a table. This work is not performed once. It is necessary to review the equipment and cables for at least two batches. Because people make mistakes when doing a lot of low-level repetitive work, different people do multiple reviews, which is a protection for project participants.

  3. Protect equipment and cables to be swapped in advance. Prepare the equipment packing case and cable packing box or packing bag, and install each item to be swapped.

  4. The most important thing is to have complete packing, handling, and storage plans. The transportation process must be planned accurately.

  5. First, which devices and cables are installed in boxes or bags, which must be planned and recorded, and must be refined to each line.

  6. Then, plan the installation sequence after the equipment is removed and the new equipment room, and plan the packing place after the equipment is removed and the place for unloading the equipment in the new equipment room.

  7. Plan the package loading plan according to the freight vehicle transportation conditions, and arrange the corresponding vehicle and command personnel according to the plan.

  8. The swap of the old equipment room is resurrected. Therefore, the equipment should be cleaned as much as possible when the equipment is dismantled. This also saves the packing personnel's clothes, regardless of whether it is good for the equipment or the packing personnel.

  9. The new equipment room must be fully ventilated and ventilated.

  10. The dismantling of equipment can begin in advance.

  11. In the whole migration process, the equipment disassembly can prolong the operation time. However, the transportation process must be as fast as possible, and the intermediate time should be reduced to reduce the transportation risks.

  12. The installation must be completed as soon as possible. In the case of a long time, the memory of related personnel is blurred, causing the device reinstallation process to be blocked.


That's all for today. I hope it will be helpful to all of you! i_f21.gif

Thanks for sharing,

that is very useful.

In addition, I would like to ask the component of the business stagnation sequence has the rationale? What should I pay attention to during the entire migration process? Data backup?

Of course, backup is necessary before any operation, let alone such a large migration.

If business problems are involved, ask the leaders to arrange coordination. Check which service components of each service port can be stopped first, and which needs to be stopped. Arrange the service stop time in a unified manner.

Thanks for sharing.

and I want to know the plan of power-on and power-off sequence in the previous plan. How do you do it?

Thanks for your reply.

My power-off plan is to disconnect the servers one by one, disconnect the storage, and disconnect the network. In this case, the power supply is not directly connected to the power cable. Instead, the power cable must be powered off before the power cable is removed. In this case, the onsite personnel must be informed and the onsite personnel must be inspected. Remove the power cable, and then remove the network cable and other cables. Remember to make a line mark before pulling out the line.
After the device is installed, power on the network device, and then power on the storage device and server.
Generally, people are more sensitive to network connectivity. However, the running time of normal services is better tolerated. Therefore, you need to plan the power-on and power-off sequence and service suspension sequence based on this basic rule.
