migrating from 32-bit to 64-bit CentOS image

Our first NagiosXI installation was done prior to the availability of the 64-bit CentOS VM image. We are seeing considerably better performance from the second (64 bit) Nagios XI installation and would thus like to migrate the first one to 64-bit.

I would like to validate that the backup/restore procedure is correct for this migration? Are they any caveats or gotchas with this?

Thanks! Phil

You should be able to follow the work around at the bottom of this page:

I just made a change to it, should be updated within the hour.

Doc is updated, but it may take a few minutes for the new version to hit the library.

will my license for the 32 bit system transfer directly to the 64? or will I need a new one?

The license will still work regardless of the bittiness.
