On-Premise cnMaestro Migration (VirtualBox-PROXMOX)

[micampo]

Hello,

Using this link:

Installing cnMaestro on Proxmox

While not officially supported, cnMaestro on premises runs fine on the Qemu/KVM-based Proxmox system. Here’s how to get it running: Import cnmaestro OVA into proxmox NOTE: you can also just untar the ova file locally and upload the vmdk files, then attach these to a new vm. Using the importovf method is a bit quicker, but the end result is the same. scp or use another method to get the ova file available on the proxmox server Untar the ova file downloaded from https://support.cambiumnetworks.…

I installed cnmaestro on-premises on Proxmox and it started perfectly.

I need help migrating the data from the old cnmaestro on-premises to this new one.

When I start the new cnmaestro on-premises, it asks me to add an Anchour account (see photo).

1. Should I disable the Anchour account from the old cnmaestro to use it in the new one?

Or

2. Should I create a different Anchour account for this new cnmaestro on-premises installation?

Or

3. Or will it be okay if I use the same Anchour account that’s active in the old cnmaestro on-premises?

What would be the correct procedure to avoid impacting the migration?

I already have the .tag.gz backup of the old on-premises cnMaestro ready, and I’m ready to migrate.

Thanks

Hi, you can have multiple cnMaestro On Prem instances connected to the same Anchor account so no need to create a new Anchor account. I recommend you create a Cambium Support ticket to get the assistance you need to migrate the data from the old to new On Prem accounts.

Hello

I used option 1.

In the web admin of my old cnMaestro on-premises installation, I disabled the Anchour account to avoid any errors and then configured the Anchour account in the new cnMaestro installation.

Then I downloaded the backup of the old cnMaestro and uploaded it to the new cnMaestro, and everything went well.

cnMaestro was working on Proxmox.

However, after a week, we had to restart Proxmox, and unfortunately, it stopped working. Using .ova files in Proxmox is unreliable, so we had to reactivate the old cnMaestro on-premises installation, which has been running on VirtualBox for years.

Thanks
