<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=142222612-05082008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Yes, but with a caveat.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=142222612-05082008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>If you change architecture, your rrd files might not
survive.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=142222612-05082008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>If you go like for like e.g. x86 to x86, you should be
fine.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=142222612-05082008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>However, you will have problems if you migrate from X86 to
Sparc, or vice-versa.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=142222612-05082008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>There is a workaround, but I would rather have my head set
on fire, and put out with a sledghammer.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

then it's full steam ahead, and f*** the icebergs.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=142222612-05082008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Make sure your new server has all the prerequisites for
Hobbit installed.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=142222612-05082008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Install Hobbit. Check it starts, then shut it
down.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=142222612-05082008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Now simply shut down the old Hobbit installation, copy
the data and config files, and start up the new one.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=142222612-05082008><FONT face=Arial
