Moving the Ambari server

Moving an existing Ambari Server to a new host requires installing a new Ambari Server and transferring data from the existing Ambari database to the new Ambari database.

This topic describes the high-level process for moiving an Ambari Server with a default, PostgresSQL database. If your Ambari Server uses a non-default databases, such as MySQL, Oracle, or an existing PostgreSQL instance, you must use backup, restore, and stop/start procedures specific to that database type.
