Chapter 13. Migrating Cacti to a New Server
From time to time, it becomes necessary to move an existing Cacti installation to a new server. This may be due to hardware retirement, operating system upgrades, a technology move from Linux to a Windows system, or simply switching to a more powerful system. This chapter will provide you with the tools, commands, and processes to prepare and execute the migration of Cacti from one system to another system with minimal downtime.
In this chapter, we are going to:
- Provide an overview of the migration process
- Describe the differences between a 32-bit and 64-bit system
- Execute an actual migration between two systems
Let's migrate Cacti!
