Migration of secondary core server

Votes:

0

Hi Team,

I'm going to be upgrading/replacing my secondary core server from a 2008 R2 box to a 2012 R2 in the near future. What is the best way to go about doing this ? Should I copy across the content within the program files folder similar to a primary core migration or just connect it as another core server and let it sync content over.

Cheers,

Nick

Dear Nick

The PRTG folder within the Program Files folder is not copied, instead it is re-created by reinstalling PRTG. The PRTG folder within the ProgramData folder must be copied to retain the existing historic data.

When the failover connects to the master node, it automatically synchronizes the sensor configuration.

This article provides all relevant information.
