Server Migration

When migrating the RMS software from one server to a new one, here are the steps that need to be taken into account.

 

Step 1

When migrating the RMS software to a new server, there is no need for a new RMS software license, the existing one will work.

 

However, should a software upgrade be carried out, then a new software license may be required!

Step 2

The RMS software must be installed on the new server: Server Software Installation.

Step 3

From the existing/old server, create a backup of the SQL database.

Step 4

On the new server, import the backup of the SQL database.

Step 5

The host and path may need to be reconfigured based upon the new server:

Host: the new server IP address or DNS.

Path: the path defined during the software installation.

 

In order to change the device settings, the device must be disabled in the existing/old RMS software.

 

Once the host and path are updated, the device will automatically start communicating with the new software on the new server.
