Hi, we are planning on migrating our existing SolarWinds installation from server 2008 sp1 (NON-R2) to Server 2012 R2 before upgrading to NPM v12. I don’t quite understand everything that needs to be done, especially with NTA and its internal database. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Here is the current Setup:
- Orion01
- Server 2008 SP1
- Single (only) Poller
- Holds ALL roles except NTA database
- Receives all sylogs, traps, etc
- NPM, NCM, IPAM, NTA, FSM
- Orion02
- Holds NTA Storage Database
We want to migrate Orion01 to a new server (call it Orion001) with server 2012 R2
Here are the step that I think we are supposed to take, but I am not real comfortable with them:
- Stop all Orion Services on Orion01 and Orion02
- Backup the Orion database
- Restore the database to a different database server
- Install all components on Orion001 and connect to restored database
- Shutdown Orion01
- Rename and Re-IP Orion001 to Orion01
