Sorry if there is an existing question. I only found a post about changing Server's IP address and migrating to a new Server.
A client wants to move their 'original' Enterprise Geodatabase to a new machine by recreating the Enterprise Geodatabase on a new machine with an upgraded version of postgresql. Changing the 'original' machine's IP to the new machine's IP and changing the new machine's IP to the original machine's IP.
Is this as simple as it seems? Or are there going to be a lot of potential issues?
Current setup is Enterprise 11.1. The machine containing the current Enterprise Geodatabase is using postgresql dbms and is a registered database on server. This database has many tables frequently being updated through python and data interoperability models using a connection file.
We plan to stop these during the change, swap the IP addresses and then restart the update processes.
Do we need to stop any services or other connections? Or is this a simple, swap over the IP address and everything syncs up as if nothing happened? Thank you in advance for any information or reference documentation.
You may want to look at this post: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-documents/update-arcgis-server-services-after-sql-se...
Says SQL Server but the process should be the same for PostgreSQL.
Did you use IP in the connection string information?
Yes we use the IP in the connection string.
Thank you for sharing I will check it out now
