Problem Description
Issue
I am upgrading my server hardware and would like to migrate my entire AMP ADS and all Instances to the new server. What is the cleanest and most efficient way to migrate the entire configuration? I have ~15 instances totaling 50GB on the datastore. I am planning to move from Linux to Linux. Thanks for the help!!
Reproduction Steps
- Checked AMP system level backup options
- Searched CubeCoders support. Answers were not definitive.
- Searched AMP reddit and couldn’t find the answer.
There isn’t an official way to migrate things.
Though since both systems are Linux based, you can move the entire .ampdata folder.
On the old system:
On the new system do the following:
- install AMP
- as
amp, run ampinstmgr stopall
- stop the
ampinstmgr service
- nuke/remove
.ampdata (or just rename it to be safe, you never know)
- restore your own
.ampdata folder on the new machine
- as
root, run ampinstmgr fixperms
- start the
ampinstmgr service
- as
amp, run ampinstmgr reactivateall
- reboot if things look funny
Thank you so much! Sorry for the delay. Took a bit to prep. Following these instructions, the migration was perfect. No issues.
One piece to note, the credentials were overwritten by the old installation. Not an issue, and somewhat expected.
Oh forgot about that, I’ll add it to my notes as a fun extra bit
