Well, last night ran like it should have, like it did before the move.
Everything finished after about 9 to 10 hours. Most everything finished
with a 0 or 1. A few to iron out, especially our NDMP mail appliance
:-Z.
Simon, thanks for those tips. I actually checked every machine to make
sure that port/NIC settings jived. I'm going to revisit a few today.
The sad thing is that most of our NICs don't have the option to lock at
GB speeds. Our are predominantly Broadcom and Intel; the some of the
Intels have the option to lock at Auto-1000mbps. We've killed tracker
on most hosts; I may look into GP to ensure that none have it running.
Thanks to everyone,
Jason
