Moving Central from one machine to another

Follow the steps given below to move the central from one machine to another.
  1. Take a backup of the existing Central installation using the backup procedure outlined
  2. Install the Central in the new machine and start/run the Central server
  3. Restore the backed up data following the restore procedure outlined
  4. 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]
  5. If the Ipaddress/HostName/NAT address of the older Central and new Central are different,then follow steps 6-9
  6. Shutdown all installed probes
  7. 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
  8. 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

  9. Run ssl_gen.bat/sh present under <probe-home>/bin directory with forcefully as follows in all probe machines
    • ssl_gen.bat/sh  -f
  10. 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
