SCO 5.0.5.: migrating from an old to new server
I've removed advertising from most of this site and will eventually clean up the few pages where it remains.
While not terribly expensive to maintain, this does cost me something. If I don't get enough donations to cover that expense, I will be shutting the site down in early 2020.

Hi all
I have to migrate everything such users, settings, and programs from an old PIII running SCO-UNIX 5.0.5 to a new PIV where i should install the same SCO-UNIX 5.0.5. for compatibility reasons. Wich is the right and shortest way to do it ??
Thanks to everybody
Piertonio

The real problem is that programmers have spent far too much time worrying about efficiency in the wrong places and at the wrong times; premature optimization is the root of all evil (or at least most of it) in programming. (Donald Knuth)

And as your os isn't changing, consider using a Supertar to do the transfer (avoids reloading the OS). Specifically see (link)

And do you have drivers for the new disk?

...from an old PIII running SCO-UNIX 5.0.5 to a new PIV...
Using a P4 in this application is not recommended! You will run into thermal issues with the P4 that the 5.0.5 kernal does not address, possibly resulting in overheating of the MPU and outright system failure.
A better choice, and one that produces a higher level of performance for the same amount of money, is an AMD Opteron powered unit. We have tested 5.0.5, 5.0.6 and 5.0.7 on the Opteron, and currently have several Opteron servers running 5.0.7 in service. BTW, 5.0.6 requires OSS657A to address programmable interrupt timer issues with P4 and/or AMD Athlon/Opteron processors.
P4 thermal management issues in 5.0.6 are addressed by installing patch OSS648A -- this function is built into the 5.0.7 kernal. OSS648A cannot be applied to 5.0.5 and older releases, which means they are unsafe to use with the P4.

Maybe. It's certainly something to be aware of,
which is the subject of Bela's

referered to above.

Hi There,
Any one have the key for SCO 5.0.5. I have original CD but the key lost.
Thanks.

If you are asking what YOUR key is, see (link)
If you just obtained a CD somewhere, you need to BUY a license.
