After reviewing these questions, continue with the monitoring station migration process described below.
Migrating UIM to the new platform
Before migrating the monitoring station, you must have the following:
...
Migration Progress Checklist
| Step # | Task | Done? |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Back up your current configuration | |
| 2 | Download and install the same UIM version on the new monitoring system | |
| 3 | Add your new license to the new monitoring station | |
| 4 | Shut down UIM on both the current and new monitoring stations | |
| 5 | Move the DataStore | |
| 6 | Start UIM on the new monitoring station | |
| 7 | Set up other settings | |
| 8 | Validate the configuration |
Back up your current configuration
Review Backing up and recovering UIMUptime Infrastructure Monitor for full instructions.
Download and install the same UIM version on the new monitoring station
Use the full UIM installation package to install a clean but same version of UIM on the new monitoring station.
Add your new license to the new monitoring station
Log in to UIM on the new monitoring station. Because it will be a fresh UIM install, it will ask you to set the admin password and SMTP server. These values will be reset once the configuration is copied from the old monitoring station.
Enter the new license key when prompted.
Shut down UIM on both the current and new monitoring stations
To stop the UIM services, see Starting (or restarting) and Stopping stopping Uptime Infrastructure Monitor.
Move the DataStore
The UIM datastore contains all relevant configuration information for your UIM installation. To move the datastore, copy the following directory to the same location on your new monitoring station:
...
| Info |
|---|
Consider compressing the data within this directory before moving the configuration information to minimize transfer time. Also ensure that file transfers are completed in BINARY mode as datastore files may be corrupted if they are transferred in ASCII. |
Delete ib_logfile* files
If the MySQL ib_logfile* size on the old monitoring station server differs from the new one, MySQL will fail to start. To avoid this issue, it is best to delete the <uptime_dir>/datastore/data/ib_logfile* files. They will be automatically recreated when the UIM DataStore service starts next.
Start UIM on the new monitoring station
After the datastore directory has been is moved to the new monitoring station, start UIM on the new monitoring station. For more information, see Starting (or restarting) and Stopping stopping Uptime Infrastructure Monitor .
Set up other settings
Some settings may not be included with the configuration and performance data and may need to be individually configured. These parameters may include:
- SMTP/Email Settings (under Config > SMTP Server)
- Java Heap Size
- Scripts and/or plug-in monitors
- UI Only / Reporting Instance Setting
Validate the configuration
When the monitoring station is running on the new system, ensure that all agent systems continue to return new performance data and that UIM is registering alerts.
