No problems in missing some client data. I guess I could set up the new one to make sure everything works, then move the real data and change IPs?
Reason for testing is that this old box was upgraded from hobbit and even from BB. Some clients are hobbit versions using bb structure. I've set BB up eons ago, then a few admins took over. Positions cut, now it's back on my belt.
TIA.

How critical is it that you have every last report? Clients only report back every 10 minutes, so if you can migrate in 5-15 minutes you'll in the worst case lose one report.
When I migrated to a newer OS, I just moved it all over and then changed IPs once I was done.

Running an old version on old hardware and looking to migrate this to a new VM on RHEL8. I'd also most likely use Terbithia RPMs for this
I saw a couple of posts on how to move all historical data over. Question for those who've done this, how did you handle IP addresses?
I thought about setting up the server with a new temp IP address and have it do all outbound tests to make sure everything works. Then change the IP when decommissioning the old one. This would allow remote tests to report back. Or would you set up as new IP and have clients report to both, then remove the old one?
TIA.
