Migrate Data to Another Server

Migrate Cortex XSOAR 6.13 data to another server, including files and directories.

In certain cases you might need to move data between servers, for example, when a stronger production server is required.

1. Install Cortex XSOAR on the new server.

   Important

   The Cortex XSOAR version installed on the new server must match the Cortex XSOAR version installed on the old server.

   Do not start the Cortex XSOAR service when the installation finishes.
2. Change the /var/lib/demisto directory to /var/lib/demisto.old.

   mv`` ``/var/lib/demisto /var/lib/demisto.old
3. Copy the following files and directories from the old server to the new server.

   • /var/lib/demisto

     scp -r /var/lib/demisto <username@NewServerIPAddress>:</remote/directory>
   • cert.key and cert.pem under /usr/local/demisto

     scp cert.key <username@NewServerIPAddress>:</remote/directory>

     scp cert.pem <username@NewServerIPAddress>:</remote/directory>

     Where username is the user on the new server and NewServerIPAddress is the IP address of the new server. The /remote/directory is the path of the directory you want to copy the file to. If you do not specify a directory, the file will be copied to the user home directory.
   • /usr/local/demisto/demisto.lic

     scp demisto.lic <username@NewServerIPAddress>:/usr/local/demisto

   Ensure that ownership of the directories and files are set to demisto:demisto

   chown -R demisto:demisto`` ``<file_path>
4. Start the Cortex XSOAR service using the appropriate command for your OS and wait for the server to complete the indexing process.

   • systemctl start demisto
   • sudo service demisto start
