    Hi to all,

    We have an older server and try to move the content to a new LPAR on another machine. We install all the necessary s/w to new server, and now it is time to copy the web content to the new server. However at this point, we want to keep the ownership, group, history information for those files. That's why we use the -p option of scp. However, all the necessary account information should also exist in the new system as well, o.w. we will see just user and group id's instead of their names. How can we handle this issue? I mean, the best practice is to copy the passwd, group and some other files under security folder (opasswd, ouser, etc.) to the new server? Or is there any practical import/export mechanism in AIX?

    Thanks for you help, best regards
