Your Server

My Linux server is full, how can I add another server to my existing database?

My server is full and I need more memory and the only option I have is to get another server with more Gigabites. What do I have to do to make sure my database is not disrupted and also people on my website can still search from old and new servers?? The easiest way would be the best!

1. My suggestion is first backup all of your data. Set up a Linux Cluster with a few old systems. At this point don't mess with your main server. I would suggest using something like Beowoulf to creat this. (of course there are many other options). Then at your leisure configure your software to run you database, applications etc on it directly or over a virtual machine. Then replace your main server with the cluster. You should then also be able to add nodes anytime you need more memory
