Transfer

Procedure to transfer sesam to a new server with the same hostname and ip. 

Check Old Server:

Use rpm -qa | grep sesam on the old server to determine the installed sesam packages and versions.
/etc/init.d/sesam stop

Check for a complete shutdown with ps ax|grep sm_

Prepare New Server:

Install packages so rpm -qa | grep sesam matches old server
/etc/init.d/sesam stop

Check for a complete shutdown with ps ax|grep sm_ 

Pull data from Old Server :

rsync -vaP --stats -zc --delete OLD_SERVER_HOSTNAME:/opt/sesam/ /opt/sesam/
rsync -vaP --stats -zc --delete OLD_SERVER_HOSTNAME:/var/opt/sesam/ /var/opt/sesam/
rsync -vaP --stats -zc OLD_SERVER_HOSTNAME:/etc/sesam2000.ini /etc/

Disable Old server

Start Sesam on New Server

/etc/init.d/sesam start
