Solarwinds Orion Install/Migration question

bc0000 over 3 years ago

We want to install SW Orion 2020.2.1 (with NPM,NCM,SAM) on new servers, and SQL 2016 on a new server. We then want to backup/restore from the existing SQL 2014 server to the new SQL 2016 server.

Will that copy to the new SW all the existing Component monitors, Application monitors, Alerts, Actions, NPM nodes, groups, and NCM configs? Basically, the thousands of things we don't want to recreate manually?

The background is that we inherited these old products:
Orion Platform 2017.3.2 SP2
SAM 6.4.0
NPM 12.2
NCM 7.7
These are on 8 servers, and a dedicated SQL 2014 server.

We want our own fresh install of the latest SW Orion, but keep the old data, and don't want to recreate all the monitors, alerts, nodes, etc.

We're okay if we don't copy over old files and folders, so we're not looking for a 100% migration.

Thanks for your help!!!

bc0000 This would certainly be a standard migration. SolarWinds has a couple of migration guides which include steps for migrating the database as well. https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/orionplatform/Content/Orion_Platform_Migration_Guide.htm

The things you mentioned are housed in the database and will be migrated to the new system if you follow the migration guide. There are a few things which you can manually move as needed as they exist in the file structure. There is an optional step that covers that in the migration guides.

Additionally, ensure you are using the product upgrade advisor and inputting your current server and Orion module versions in in case any additional steps are needed. This is available to you in your customer portal. This will help ensure a smooth transition.
