<div>Hey All, <br>
<br>
</div>
We are consolidating all subnets on server B and moving to an
exisitng failover pair we have, In order to decom server B.
I'll need to take the leases file from server B and combine
whats there with the leases file on both servers in the
failover pair. (doing this to make the failover pair aware of
what leases are already out there that were assigned by server
B)<br>

I am not sure, but I think one other way could be to make server B
part of a failover pair with one of the existing failover servers
for a period of time. That way the remaining server will have all
the information transferred from server B. Later that configuration
could be changed to have the other remaining failover server act as
the peer, that way the servers would transfer the data, probably
with less risk.<br>
<br>
Others should confirm or reject this idea.<br>

I'm thinking just a simple cat on both files should be fine to
combine the data. And, all 3 servers are running the same
verison of dhcp (4.1.1.61) and RHEL so I don't expect and
formatting problems. <br>
<br>
</div>
However, since failover pairs have more transitional states with
the "binding state" variable, is it possible I will run into any
issues doing this? Is there a better, more preferred way of
doing this instead of merging the leases file? <br>
