Move Nagios XI Enterprise to new VM

[ssouthern]

We are migrating all of our VMs to Hyper-V Generation 2 VMs. All of our Linux-based workloads are moving to CentOS 7 on those VMs.

Is there any documentation on the best way to move the configuration and data for Nagios XI Enterprise from one VM to another?

The following doc can be used for just such a thing:

Just make sure that the CPU architectures are the same. What OS is your XI machine on currently?

We're currently on CentOS 6.7 x64 in a gen1 Hyper-V VM, going to CentOS 7 x64 in a gen2 Hyper-V VM... I'm going to do a test run over the weekend to see how it goes.

It won't go well...

We have updated our backup/restore scripts to handle such a transition. Can you open a ticket with [email protected] so we can provide you with those scripts? They can't be posted on the forums just yet.

Closing as we have received the ticket.
