We have had some changes in monitoring responsibilities for our network and would like to know if it is possible to take only APM and move it to a new server at a different location in our company?
Current Installation:
APM 4.0.2 SP4, NPM 10.1.2 SP1, and NTA 3.7 on one server (Server A) with the database also installed on this server locally (SQL Server Express 2008 R2). This is at Location A.
Desired Result:
Remove APM, leaving NPM and NTA and Database on Server A.
Install APM on a different server (Server
at a different location (Location
on a different subnet.
Server B has NPM 10.1, NCM 6.1, NTA 3.7 installed on it.
The database is on a separate server (Server C). The database version is SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition 64-bit.
The Web server (Server D) is running Windows Server 2008.
Can we move the APM module to Sever B? If so, can you provide clear documentation so I do not miss any steps?
Can we migrate the Application monitors so we do not have to re-create them? If so, can you provide clear documentation so I do not miss any steps?
Can we copy the credentials so we do not have to re-create them? If so, can you provide clear documentation so I do not miss any steps?
Can we also move the database data? If so, can you provide clear documentation so I do not miss any steps?
If we can move the database data, what is the risk to the current data on Server C, the database server at Location B?
If we cannot move the database data, what are my options for keeping the historical data?
Any clear, step-by-step instructions and/or documentation is extremely appreciated. Thank you.
