I don't see why you can't just copy the RRD files from 'frame' to this
new server.  You might need to rename some of the files and/or create
some new subdirectories, but it should work.

Why don't you startup gmetad with the new setup, take a look at the
created file system structure, and see about how to migrate the
historic data to the new server?

Cheers,

Bernard
