We moved our NT server by building the new server, installing ADSM, (We
fully
migrated our storage pools so we didn't have to worry about restoring
those)
we started ADSM on the new server, and resized our recovery log and DB
to the
same as our origional, copied our volume history, device configuration
and otions
file from the old to the new, and ran a restore dB. Everything came up
happy.
