How to move Netmon Install

From Netmon

PREREQUISITE: Upgrade Netmon to the latest version # and patch level. If you do not, database inconsistencies could torpedo your installation

Contact Netmon support to let us know that you will be migrating. You will need to tell us your activation key so that we can unlock it for you to facilitate a new installation. Please allow sufficient time for us to get your message and unlock your key (1 business day before migration should be sufficient.)

Download the Netmon SE ISO (http://www.netmon.ca/downloads/netmon_se.iso) and burn it to a CD-ROM

• Boot your new device from CD and completely install Netmon. Do not activate at this time.

• On the original Netmon device, verify the available disk space:

df -h

You want to have at least 15% of the /var partition available to hold the backup.

• On the original Netmon device, perform a complete backup :

pg_dump -D -F c -Z 9 -f netmon.tsql netmon35

• Move the backup file to the new device using HTTP

(on old Netmon device)

 cp netmon.tsql /apache/

(on new Netmon device)

 wget http://<netmon device IP or hostname>/netmon.tsql

• On the new Netmon device, perform a database restore:

 pg_restore -c -d netmon35 netmon.tsql

• Use the re-sequencing script to ensure there are no sequencing issues in the database:

python /apache/cli/fix_sequences.py

• On the new Netmon device, log in and re-activate your installation (Settings-> Registration Data -> License Key). Once you have done this successfully, reboot the appliance.
