Unfortunately RRD files are architecture dependant, you'll have to do an rrdtool dump transfer xml files to new server then rrdtool restore on each file to get it into the arch type.

I wish to move a Hobbit monitor that has been running for quite some time on a Solaris platform, to a new Linux server that I setup. I did not want to lose the history for the hosts so I copied the data directory to the new host, but it seems the rrd files are not compatible
as I have missing graph links. I checked the permissions and they are okay.
Hmm I checked rrdtool versions and here's what I found: Solaris: rrdtool version 1.0.49 Linux: rrdtool version 1.2.18-1
- Now I am assuming that the problem is the difference in the rrdtool versions. I don't really want to roll back to an older version on the linux box.
- After some research it looks like rrdtool has an option to dump an rrd to XML. You can then import that XML to another rrdtool version. I will try that and report if it works or not.
Note: I'm not asking a specific question in this post...I'm mostly just "thinking out loud" in case my problem and resolution helps others who search the mailing list.
