Moving Administration Server to another device

If you need to use Administration Server on a new device, you can move it in one of the following ways:

• Move Administration Server and the database server to a new device.
• Keep the database server on the previous device and move only Administration Server to a new device.

To move Administration Server and the database server to a new device:

1. On the previous device, create a backup of Administration Server data.

   To do this, you can run the data backup task through Kaspersky Security Center 13 Web Console or run the klbackup utility.

2. Select a new device on which to install the Administration Server. Make sure that the hardware and software on the selected device meet the requirements for Administration Server, Kaspersky Security Center 13 Web Console, and Network Agent. Also, check that ports used on Administration Server are available.
3. On the new device, install the database management system (DBMS) that the Administration Server will use.

   When you select a DBMS, consider the number of devices covered by the Administration Server.

4. Install the Administration Server on the new device.

   Note that if you move the database server to the new device, specify the local address as the IP address of the device on which the database is installed (the "h" item in the Installing Kaspersky Security Center instruction). If you need to keep the database server on the previous device, enter the IP address of the previous device in the "h" item of the Installing Kaspersky Security Center instruction.

5. After the installation is complete, recover Administration Server data on the new device by using the klbackup utility.

   If you use SQL Server as a DBMS on the previous and new devices, note that the version of SQL Server installed on the new device must be the same or later than the version of SQL Server installed on the previous device. Otherwise, you cannot recover Administration Server data on the new device.

6. Open Kaspersky Security Center 13 Web Console and connect to the Administration Server.
7. Verify that all the client devices are connected to the Administration Server.
8. Uninstall the Administration Server and the database server from the previous device.
