PS - 2 karma points were given and i got notified and read and wanted to edit my answer to these questions,... and sorry for my wrong answer last time, hope nobody followed it even if somebody followed it, no harm done, the system will not work "workable splunk" ) >>>is it really necessary to run the splunk intsall on the new server , even when i detach and attach the disk... Yes, it is necessary to install Splunk once again(when u install the splunk, if the instance is already having the splunk, then, the installer script will detect the existing install and will ask you - do u really want to install or upgrade, etc) >>>the disk with /opt/splunk has the full setup. the installer script "intelligently" will take care this situation and ask your confirmation. >>>i understand to change the server.conf and inputs.conf, which ill take care.. but wanted to know if the splunk install was necessary in this case... it is suggested to add the drive from old system to the new system and then install the splunk on new system. the installer script will "understand" the existing data, version, etc. EDIT - (PS - my karma stats - given 2000 and received 500. thanks for reading )
