LPAR2RRD Data Migration

tso11m4

He instalado un nuevo servidor de LPAR2RRD porque vamos a usar una cambiar de la aplicación en un appliace a un servidor Linux. ¿Hay alguna forma de migrar datos a los nuevos servidores LPAR2RRD? Quiero evitar la pérdida de datos de los últimos meses y años cuando reciclemos el viejo servidor LPAR2RRD. La version tanto en apliance como en el servidor es la 6.16

Hi,

if both Linuxes are x86_64 (uname -i) then migration is easy

1. set up new server, add all devices (HMC, vCenters ...), make all working

use same directory as on the source server (or at least make same sym link on the target one)

2. copy over directory /home/lpar2rd/lpar2rrd/data, use tar, not cp, scp ...!!!

3. on the new server

cd /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd

rm tmp/6.16

./load.sh

We cannot access the old apliance (as we do not have access via ssh). There is some way to download the historical data in order to perform the migration.

Pavel

you can login via ssh to the appliance, there is root and lpar2rrd account, both have same default password after initial deployment, I will paste it into personal chat

He's got everything back for me except the custom groups. There's a way to retrieve them from a file.

Pavel

Hi,

copy over etc/web_config/custom_groups.cfg , keep proper file  rights (owned by apache user)

Thanks Pavel, there's only one thing left that doesn't work for me: the pdf reports. The version we have installed is the 6.16 of lpar2rrd and the linux version is a RedHat78.

Pavel
