Ok cool so basically the graphs stop updating if theyre NQR after the move, I guess thats pretty effortless to test, move a host onto the new box and come back in a day and see what happens I suppose.
I think you could find out sooner than that - just copy an rrd over to the new system and try to dump it:
rrdtool dump datafile.rrdIf you get XML, it's probably all good. If it complains, you need to do the export at the original host and import it on the new host. I just copied an rrd over from a Sparc system to an x86 system, and rrdtool dump tells me:
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0x0804a170 *** Abort
whereas doing the same with a locally-created rrd I get a stream of xml. Likewise, going back to the original system I can dump the original file just fine.

I would definately expect possible issues between a sun box and an x86 box
Have just tested the dump on a few files and they all spewed out some nice xml so should be all good :)
