Introduction
NMIS9 installer will automatically import all nodes from NMIS8, however, some of the custom configuration won't be imported to NMIS9. In order to do that, a few extra steps are required.
Step by step
1. Install nmis
Code Block |
---|
language | bash |
---|
title | Installing NMIS9 |
---|
|
bash ./nmis9-9.1.1.run -- -y |
2. Stop nmis8 and nmis9 from running
Code Block |
---|
|
mv /etc/cron.d/nmis /tmp/nmis.cron
systemctl stop nmis9d.service |
3. Replace the new default NMIS9 var/ and database/ directories for the old custom ones (NMIS8)
Code Block |
---|
|
rm -rf /usr/local/nmis9/database
rm -rf /usr/local/nmis9/var
cp -rfT /usr/local/nmis8/var /usr/local/nmis9/var
cp -rfT /usr/local/nmis8/database /usr/local/nmis9/database |
4. Download and run the import-nmis8-config.sh script
Code Block |
---|
|
bash ./import-nmis8-config.sh |
5. Use the nmis-cli tool to fix the permissions
Code Block |
---|
|
/usr/local/nmis9/nmis-cli act=fixperms |
6. Lastly, verify nmis9d is running
Code Block |
---|
|
systemctl status nmis9d.service |
