Note that if the platform (Solaris) is not changing, and you are using
OS file devices, you can simply copy the device files over to the new
server (after shutting down the source ASE).

First, copy the Sybase SW, then create the new interfaces entry, copy
over the RUN_ and .cfg files (and logs if you want to keep them), then
copy all the device files into identical directory structures*
(because that's where Master will look for them) and you're good to
go.

*If this isn't possible, put -T3608 (recover master only) in the RUN_
file and set "allow updates" in .cfg to 1, then boot ASE and update
sysdevices to set the phynames to their new values. Remove -T3608 and
restart ASE.
