We just purchased a new (third) appliance. Is there an efficient way to copy profile settings and indexes (or at least the settings themselves) to the new box? We have about 20 profiles we want to move, that would be a pretty significant amount of work...
Use the Maintenance->Save search appliance settings->download to save the settings to your workstation. Then create each of the profiles on the new appliance using defaults. Don't worry about any of the settings, just that the profiles exist. Then on the new appliance use Maintenance->Restore search appliance settings to upload the saved settings.
You'll need to re-run the walks to reget the data or use per-profile replication to clone it from the old appliance.
I tried that, and when attempting to restore, I am getting a rather generic error mesa GE after the upload:
"Problem restoring settings"
Are the errors logged anywhere?
I am fairly confident that I had created all of them. I did some digging in the vortex.log and get numerous types of errors there, but none relating to a profile not being present.
The most common ones are:
- Too many arguments for <fmt> string
- SQLPrepare() failed with -1 in the function prepntexis
- BTREE Index /usr/local/morph3/texis/testdb/repl_url already exists on replicationq(Url) in the function createindex
- Table replicationq already exists in data dictionary in the function createdbtbl
It also seems that if an error occurs, all the profiles already created are being wiped out...
