Henrik,

Thank you, as always.  I am staying on the Intel platform, so luckily I will
not face the RRD issue you describe.  But since the boxes are running on the
same subnet right now I had to configure the new box with a different host
name and IP.  The old install is pretty much the default, as I am not that
talented at scripting or working with Linux, but I am learning.

I guess I will recompile from the source.  Obviously I can copy the BBHOSTS
to the new machine.  Can I still copy the data files over and keep the
history or am I going to lose that?
No problem with copying the data/ directory over - that will give you
all of the old history and graphs on the new server.

As far as I recall, changing IP and hostname of the server only requires
changing the hobbitserver.cfg file. If in doubt, run a "grep
OLDSERVERNAME ~hobbit/server/etc/*" and see what shows up.


Regards,
Henrik
