Moving laserfiche 9.1.1 to a new server (VM)

asked on September 30, 2014 • Show version history

Hi all,

We have a laserfiche 9.1.1 server which we wish to move to a Virtual machine setup. Other than doing the required deactivation etc. What would be the proper steps to move the data? We are running SQL on the same machine as the laserfiche server. We exported a copy of the laserfiche database, a copy the repository to the new server. We will then restore the SQL db on the new server, copy over the repository to the new server, install laserfiche and connect the db. Is that about right or should laserfiche be installed first? I know the volumes paths may need to be adjusted.

Lastly can someone provide the correct link to the downloads for the laserfiche 9.1.1 server installer and the admin tool.

Thanks

It sounds like you got it right there. You want to make sure you follow this order:

1. From the old server you want to detach the repository first (assuming that no users are logged on or it will boot them off)

2. Detach or copy the SQL database files from the old server

3. Attach the SQL database files to the new VM

4. Install the Laserfiche Server on new VM

5. Attach your old repository to your new Laserfiche Server

There may be some minor adjustments and configurations as you mentioned such as the volumes but the overall process should be pretty straight forward. As for the downloads for Laserfiche 9.1.1 and the administration console, those are available on the support site under Downloads. The administration console is bundled together with the Laserfiche installation package.

Hi Alan for the downloads there is a RIO and Avante Laserfiche server install.

We just have the standard laserfiche server 9.1.1. I wasn't quite sure which server install do download.

The Laserfiche Avante package can be used for Laserfiche Standard installations as well.
