No problems in missing some client data. I guess I could set up the new one
to make sure everything works, then move the real data and change IPs?
Reason for testing is that this old box was upgraded from hobbit and even
from BB. Some clients are hobbit versions using bb structure. I've set BB
up eons ago, then a few admins took over. Positions cut, now it's back on
my belt.
TIA.

How critical is it that you have every last report? Clients only report
back every 10 minutes, so if you can migrate in 5-15 minutes you'll in the
worst case lose one report.
When I migrated to a newer OS, I just moved it all over and then changed
IPs once I was done.

I saw a couple of posts on how to move all historical data over.
Question for those who've done this, how did you handle IP addresses?
I thought about setting up the server with a new temp IP address and have
it do all outbound tests to make sure everything works. Then change the IP
when decommissioning the old one. This would allow remote tests to report
back. Or would you set up as new IP and have clients report to both, then
remove the old one?
TIA.
