Move CSA MC another server

Aloh -

We have to move CSA MC on a server and need to use that server for another purpose. We backup the database, and when we move the server, will keep the same hostname. Is there anything else to be aware of when doing this move?

Mahalos!

To the best of my knowledge, the new server must have the same digital certificate as the old one or the hosts can't register.

I've never tried manually replacing the certificate on the MC and don't think the database restore will replace it.

You can manually copy the new server certificate to each host but this is time consuming.

If you are running an older version of CSA on the old server, your best bet is to install the newest version on the new server and run the migration tools to move the hosts from the old server to the new one.
