  • 1.  AWS CLI in AIX 7.2 OS

    Posted Mon July 29, 2024 06:36 PM

    Hi 

    our application planning to migrate to AWS but for that we have to move Data from AIX to AWS S3 for that how we can migrate?

    We tried to install AWS CLI but we didn't find any supported package/steps for AIX.

    Could you please suggest best method to migrate data(approx. 100TB) from AIX to AWS S3

    Thanks

    We just completed a migration with more storage than that… 250+ lpars
    Look into Amazon’s snowball… they have an 80TB and a 220TB (I think were the sizes)…
    the 200+ version was much faster..

    you create an S3 bucket, they ship you a box, you plug it in… connect it to your network… NFS mount it to your AIX hosts.. copy all the storage..
    ship it back to AWS… they unload it into your S3 bucket.

    We had an EFS mounted on our AIX hosts… we dumped the oracle incremental backups there, while the snowball was en-route, and getting restored in the cloud.
