[HOWTO] Migrating between architectures and directories

[hinze57]

Excellent notes on moving from 32 to 64 bit. I had to do the rrdtool dump/restore for the rrd's on NMIS and was looking at the steps needed for Cacti (mostly db backup/restore) when I found your post.

Very helpful, thank you for posting.

I spent a few minutes to tailor your script for my environment, and your script saved me hours!

Awesome script! Thank you.


I found this to work best for me:

disable poller in cacti settings

find /xml/path/here -name \*.xml | while read i; do A=`echo $i|sed 's/\.xml//'`; echo rrdtool restore -f $i $A; done > restore_rrd.sh

chmod +x restore_rrd.sh

./restore_rrd.sh
(wait for last command to finish, it will take a while)

mv /xml/path/here/*.rrd /var/www/html/rra/

enable poller in cacti settings
