Hi Splunkers,
We have to migrate our 3 Splunk instances to a whole different new instance. Since Splunk documentation says copy entire contents of $SPLUNK_HOME$ to the new instance but since we have to move 3 different instances to one we can't to do it for all.
Could you please guide me the ideal way for migration to take place. We need to have all apps and data from all the 3 instances to a newer one. Also how should the hardware requirements should be decided.
Please help!
Hi Mansi24,
if the three instance have different apps and data it isn't complicated:
If instead, there are common apps and data it's more complicated because you have to manually move all the knowledge objects of common apps in a full version of these apps.
For common data, you have to export all of them in text files before stopping old instances and reindex them on the now one.
Ciao.
Giuseppe
