Re: how to move netview server to another one

Take a backup on the current machine, tar up the backup directory and all 
its contents, move (ftp) that to the new machine, untar it there, and then 
install NetView on the new machine as an upgrade install.

You take the backup using seversetup --> Maintain  --> Backup Selective 
Data (Select ALL).   This creates a directory called /usr/OV.back.v6.r0
You tar that up, ftp it to the new box, and untar it there.  When you 
install the new NetView make sure you specify that you want to do an 
upgrade install.  It will find the old user data and merge it in.

        Subject:        [NV-L] how to move netview server to another one

 

Hi all.
     I have installed and configured a netview server with netview 6.0.2. 
I
have not use the relational database management systems (RDBMSs)  to store
data. Now I want to  install another netview server with new hostname and
IP address in the same network and give up the old one. My question is how
can I backup all information ( topology, trapd, and snmpCollect) and
restore it on the new server ? That means how can I move netview server to
another one?
