When the infrastructure database server design has finished – logical and physical design , details of the target design should be documented . My focus is on database servers , but similar issues relate to all technology platforms.
The database design includes the Logical Application Architecture and Physical deployment model
| Detail | Source | Target |
| Host name | <source_host_name> | <target_host_name> |
| Location | <source_location> | <target_location> |
| Vendor | <source_vendor> | <target_vendor> |
| Model | <current_hardware model> | <target_hardware model> |
| RAM | Allocated | Planned |
| CPU type | RISC/INTEL | RISC/INTEL |
| CPU count | <count> | <count> |
| Server class | windowslinuxunix | windowslinuxunix |
| Server classsize | Largemediumsmall | Largemediumsmall |
| Migration type | Details | Details |
| Virtualisation status | YesNo | YesNo |
| Secured zone? | NoYes (Name of Zone) | NoYes (Name of Zone) |
| Shared Environment? | NoYes (Name) | NoYes (Name) |
| HA Model | ActiveActive,ActivePassive,Load Balance | ActiveActive,ActivePassive,Load Balance |
| DR model | ActiveActive,ActivePassive | ActiveActive,ActivePassive |
| DR partner location | Location | Location |
| Devices Attached | Printer,Solid State Drive | Printer,SSD |
| OS | OS with version | Target OS |
| Server Role | devtestprodDR | devtestprodDR |
There are significant decisions for data centre management and migration decisions . I will post further checklists
