Hi,
Ideally, Each region's database should be with each region while all your regions should share just a single estate database, not one per server. The estate module builds on the fact that the info is shared to handle things like estate access permissions and bans for multi-region estates. So, you should consider creating a shared estate database on one of your new servers and load dumps from all your estate databases into it. The existing information should merge just fine.You will have to run the estate module in every region config and all regions will access their local region data and access the mysql for estate data over the network from the one server that has it. Configurations with higher redundancy are possible, as I have used in Avination, but that should do well for you as I have laid it out here. - Melanie ---- On Sat, 27 May 2023 20:00:59 +0100 Thomas Ringate <tring...@gmail.com> wrote --- I believe I made a huge mistake many years ago when I decided to split the databases of my regions into individual region, and a shared estate databases for each server. It has worked fine for many years, but now the equipment has come to end of life and I'm moving things to new servers. The simple solution would be if the region database and the estate database can be merged together as if I had never had a common estate database for each region running on a specific server? I'm not able to do a direct one for one swap for each server. I'm going down to fewer servers since hardware has become much more powerful from what it was back in 2010 when all of this was originally set up. Some regions I really don't have an issue with, but I have several large VAR regions with many parcels, each given to a different resident, and each parcel has it's own group, to control permissions for that parcel. I suspect much of this information is contained in the "estate" database. I've moved the regions that were not setup with a split region/estate database with no issues. I saved the hard part to last. The migration is with MySQL databases, from Linux machines to window machines. Any suggestions on how to do this would be appreciated. I don't think I can use the nightly backups of the OAR files since I do not believe that would preserve the parcels, and the other estate kinds of information. Everything is deeded to each parcels group. This is all running on OSgrid. _______________________________________________ Opensim-users mailing list mailto:Opensim-users@opensimulator.org http://opensimulator.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/opensim-users _______________________________________________ Opensim-users mailing list Opensim-users@opensimulator.org http://opensimulator.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/opensim-users
