That's not going to work out well.
You need to copy to the /usr/local/nagios/etc/import dir and XI imports into the DB and writes to the etc dir when you apply the config, which runs the reconfig script. You also need to copy, reconfigure, copy, reconfigure, etc.

Something like the following...

host1=nags-01

cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts

scp nagios@$host1:/usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/import/
./reconfigure_nagios.sh
scp nagios@$host1:/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacttemplates.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/import/
./reconfigure_nagios.sh
scp nagios@$host1:/usr/local/nagios/etc/servicetemplates.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/import/
./reconfigure_nagios.sh
scp nagios@$host1:/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/import/
./reconfigure_nagios.sh

This appears to have worked! :D I'm showing green all the way down.

...aaaand I forgot to install the VMware wizard, so my services are all showing critical...but I'll install that and see if it fixes it.

But, hosts are migrated over and services. I think I am good for now! I will hit you up if additional help is needed. Thank you so very much!
