Moving Central from one machine to another
Follow the steps given below to move the central from one machine to
another.
- Take a backup of the existing Central installation using the backup procedure
outlined
- Install the Central in the new machine and start/run the Central server
- Restore the backed up data
following the restore procedure
outlined
- In serverparameters.conf file present in new machine under Central\conf, edit the following
- APACHE_SERVER_NAME [give the ip or hostname of the new central]
- If the Ipaddress/HostName/NAT address of the older Central and new Central
are different,then follow steps 6-9
- Shutdown all installed probes
- Edit the NocServerDetails.xml under
<probe-home>/conf directory in each of the installed probes. Here you need
to change the "NocServerName" parameter to reflect the ipaddress/hostname/NAT address of the new central
- Run the ssl_gen.bat file from central
available under central\bin, once it has been completed, copy the tomcat\conf\https.truststore to
1) Central_Home/conf directory
2) All installed probe's conf directory
3) All installed probe's tomcat/conf directory
- Run ssl_gen.bat/sh present under <probe-home>/bin directory with forcefully as follows in all probe machines
- Now Start the Central Server and probes
P.S. - Linux users follow the same procedure except that they have to run the corresponding ".sh" files instead of the ".bat" files mentioned above
