Hi, I have inherited an existing Airwave 8.2.1.1 installation running directly on a dedicated server. It is currently only used to monitor rather than manage configuration. We are looking to upgrade to the latest version and was wondering what the upgrade paths are? It is currently running on CentOS 6.6 and I understand that would need to be upgraded to 7 before the Airwave upgrade can take place? Would it be easier to move to a virtual machine and deploy the current VM OVA template and migrate data to that? Is that possible or will the latest version not be able to import data from such an old version?
Otherwise I was wondering if it was possible to run two Airwave instances and just point our controllers to the new VM instance and keep the old one running for historical data as long as we need it? I assume the old one would function ok for historical reporting even if it was no longer seeing new data from the controllers?
Basically I am feeling it would be beneficial to build the server again from scratch and design the folder structure and groups properly and get everything working as it should rather than migrate over a messy config with lots of issues. Any advice appreciated.
Thanks.
