Appreciable job! You did great job. It is not easy to write step by step procedure for hardware migration. Well done. Keep it up!

Hi, We are planning to migrate our SAP ECC 6.0 EHP4 and DB2 database (running in VMWare virtual machines) from one datacentre in South Africa to another datacentre in Frankfurt. The new datacentre has a different IP range and different domain from the current datacentre. My questions are : 1) what are the alternatives for this migration ? 2) Can we move the VMs from the current datacentre to the new one ? 3) What about the different IP range and domain ? That would be an issue ? Thanks in advance. Sergio Sanchez (ssanchez@aspenpharma.com.br)
