[Xymon] migrate server

[Novosielski, Ryan]

I did this recently but also changed the hostname and upgraded from 4.2.3 to 4.3.10 at the same time and had trouble with the graphs. Any obvious gotchas to look out for there?

I recently moved to a new server. The way I did it was to install the newest Xymon release on the new server. Set up a Xymon proxy on the old server so it can feed both the old and new servers. Make sure the new installation is running right. Then use scp to move over all of the data directory. Turn off your old machine. If you have any proxies running anywhere you will have to point them to the new server after you have switched over, before you shutdown the old server. Same with any network tests you are running from your main server. That's about it, it went really smoothly for me. If you are running any network tests from your main server, be sure the firewalls are set up for the new server.

Thanks,
Larry Barber

Our current Xymon server is running on a vmware vm. The powers-that-be want it to run on a physical machine. Unfortunately there is no V2P converter. So I've set up a new Linux box. Looking for the best way to migrate from old server to new one
