Migration from standalone to distributed setup

[alexander.rozhkov]

Hello!

Is it possible to go from standalone Zabbix server setup to distributed without data loss?

Looks like there is a rule "zabbix_server -n nodeId must run only once on given DB" so the scenario below shold be possible:

1. clone existing DB: original DB stay for Node1 and the new one will be used by Node2
2. cleanup Node1 DB: delete hosts, items, hystory etc related to future Node2
3. do the same on Node2: delete data related to Node1
4. run “zabbix_server –n 1” on Node1
5. run “zabbix_server –n 2” on Node2

Can someone confirme that?


For information: our Zabbix server has about 2000 hosts and 50000 items (60GB database)

Thanks
Alexander
