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
