All I am currently attempting to Migrate my NagiosXI from a physical server into a VM. The current version of Nagios is NagiosXI 2014R1.5 and the Vm currently has a clean install of NagiosXI 5.3. Can anyone suggest what would be the best method of transferring my data to the new VM? Both servers OS's are RHEL 6.5

For migrating - this is VERY IMPORTANT - make sure both the OLD and NEW XI servers share the same:
+
XI version - there must not be any difference in versions so upgrade both servers to the latest version which is 5.3.2
+ 32 bit or 64 bit architecture - as long as both are the same
+ Once you have the NEW XI system in place - remember it must be running the same version as the old XI - just take a backup of the old system and apply that backup to the new system. Refer to this doc:
