About this task

The BVQ Server "and" the database should be moved, whether or not because of a new Windows VM.
These are very profound changes which need to be made by the SVA/BVQ SEs.
A working VM backup is necessary.

Applies to

All Versions and Systems, further info

Procedure

1.   Connect to the Mongo shell

> mongo --authenticationDatabase admin -u bvq -p P@ssw0rd

      2.   Show DB´s

> show dbs

    3.   Exit the shell

> exit

    4.   Stop all the BVQ Services but "bvq-nongodb"and start the backup, the time to complete this task is depending on the DB size

C:\Users\bvq>mongodump --authenticationDatabase admin -u bvq -p P@ssw0rd -d bvq -j 8 --gzip --out="C:\Temp\test-backup"

    5.   Start & finish the installation of the same Version of BVQ on the new VM

    6.   Stop all BVQ services but "bvq-mongodb" on the new VM

    8.   During the BVQ-Installation, using default values, a "db" named "bvq" is created.

A restore of a mongodb has to be made, using a not existing db.
If you would like to use the db "bvq" again (code: mongorestore  --authenticationDatabase admin -u bvq -p P@ssw0rd --db bvq --gzip -j 8 C:\bvq),
you have to drop the existing(just installed) bvq db.

Connect to the mongo shell on the new VMC:\Users>mongo --authenticationDatabase admin -u bvq -p P@ssw0rd


show the db´s


> show dbs
admin 0.000GB
bvq 43.815GB
config 0.000GB
local 0.000GB
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


switch to the db, you would like to delete

> use bvq
switched to db bvq
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


delete db

> db.dropDatabase()
{ "ok" : 1 }
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


show the db´s

> show dbs
admin 0.000GB
config 0.000GB
local 0.000GB

    9.   Restore the DB

C:\bvq>mongorestore --authenticationDatabase admin -u bvq -p P@ssw0rd --db bvq -j 8 --gzip "C:\Temp\test-backup\bvq"
