-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Miles,

Also how do you get the correct blobs out for only > that sitegroup/host? Here is how I usually do stuff like that: 1.) edit repligard.conf on Server 1: - - use repliard_withsg scheme - - username and password have to belong to sg administrator (e.g. username: admin+sg) - - uncomment <replicate all\> - - save this as repligard_name_of_sitegroup.conf 2.) export using this config-file repligard -c /path/to/repligard_name_of_sitegroup.conf -a -e /path/to/sg_dump.xml.gz 3.) On the 2. Server edit repligard.conf to use repligard_withsg scheme, keep system admin and his password as login! 4.) Import the xml.gz repligard -a -i /path/to/transferred/sg_dump.xml.gz 5.) using mysql you will have to adjust the sitegroup table: Mysql midgard; Select * from sitegroup; // shows a sitegroup with empty name, realm and admin-group. Thats what we have to edit. Update sitegroup set name='my_sg_name', realm='my_sg_name', admingroup='id_of_admin_group' where id='id_of_this_sg'; // You can find the admingroup either in aegir or mysql, as you please... 6.) adjust the server name: Either in mysql (update host set name='new_name' where name='old_name';) or in aegir. Possible Errors: - - in my experience repligard may complain about 2 things when importing: - -- "can't understand sitegroups-field" means you didn't use the repligard_withsg scheme in your repligard.conf - -- "failed to allocate sitegroup 'long-GUID-of-sitegroup' as a resource for blobs" is a little more weird. AFAIK it means repligard has already a sg with prefix "/attachment" and the GUID of the attachments you try to import.. This sometimes happens to me when i transfer some SG to my home machine, edit it there and try to transfer it back. I don't know what's the cause for this error, so if anyone out there could enlighten me? Have Fun, Alex -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) iD8DBQFAh9Ph6ByBlKPys/0RAqZiAKDih8ZnxurgHO/S+9h6fVL3cjhzbACeMKVD JJ/umokBycjsr9e7xWQRw2o= =5Oc1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
