Converting from Solaris to Linux, splunk start libc.so.1: cannot open shared object file

[tschminke]

My old Splunk server is Solaris 10 running splunk-6.5.0-59c8927def0f-SunOS-x86_64-manifest
My new Splunk server is CentOS7 running splunk-7.0.0-c8a78efdd40f-linux-2.6-x86_64-manifest

I copied the old /opt/splunk to /opt/splunk on the new CENTOS7 server and installed it using an RPM
rpm -ivh splunk-7.0.0-c8a78efdd40f-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm

Everything looked good and it does start up, but I see these errors during stop/start

Waiting for web server at https://127.0.0.1:8000 to be availablesed: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
grep: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
.sed: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
grep: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
.. Done

I tried just making a link from libc.so.6 to libc.so.1 but then it just tells me it cannot load because it is looking for the SUNW version.

Suggestions?

Hi tschminke,

Usually you just copy the following directories from the old server onto a fresh install to migrate :

• $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local
• $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/users
• $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps Your mileage may vary if your are using some special apps and maybe you need to copy splunk.sercret as well.

Hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS
