Moving Angelfish to Another Server

Moving Angelfish to a new server is a simple task: install Angelfish on the new hardware and copy the Data Directory to the new instance.

You'll need to open a support ticket once the new instance is active, as you need to use the same Server ID in the new instance while it's being used in the current instance.

Here's how to move Angelfish to a new server:

Two Angelfish instances are involved: "Current" and "New"
Install the same version of Angelfish on New as used on Current
When installation is complete, Connect to the UI on New
Enter the same Server ID in New as used on Current
Click the Request Manual License link to open a support ticket
Our Support team will respond with a license for New: use it to unlock the instance
Once you're able to login to New, stop Angelfish on *both* New and Current
On New, delete the contents of the /data/ directory
On Current, copy the contents of the /data/ directory to the /data/ directory on the new instance
On New, start Angelfish & login
On Current, uninstall Angelfish once the migrated data has been verified

NOTES

The above steps work with both Linux and Windows migrations
On Windows, use the Start Menu shortcuts to stop & start Angelfish
On Linux, use agfsctl or the appropriate systemd / systemctl command
You can also move Angelfish from Linux to Windows, or from Windows to Linux

Log Tracking info can be invalidated if paths to log files change
This mostly applies to Local Datasources
If you have questions, please open a support ticket
