Replacing a old SMG server

richardherr

I am going to replace our SMG server version 12/17/20 v163, because I have not been able to get it to upgrade, it crashes, plus I want to get it on a new hardware.   But the old Ubuntu update does not work with the new SLES SMG servers.   I have not seen any docs on the moving the SLES servers to a newer one.   Can I just copy the /vastorage volume to the new server, like you can with updating Filr??

    No, if you mean old migration from Ubuntu to SuSE - that does not work.

    However if you install your new SMG virtual appliance then you will have a new option:

    On the other side your (smart) approach will work too I assume ...

    Is there any docs on that?

    Innocent, that is almost a running joke ... SMG and documentation. I think official documentation is pretty old (too old; 2021).

    I migrated a server this summer - before this feature ha been offered. However I played around a little bit with the new feature in fall - it does not harm your old server. So you can continue with your old environment if migration failed (Especially if you take a snapshot Innocent).

    I copied the vastorage volume to the new GMS server and it work.   So that looks to be the way to upgrade.
