About this task

The BVQ Server "and" the database should be moved,
whether or not it is because of a new Windows VM.
These are very profound changes which need to be made by the SVA/BVQ SEs.
A working 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 MongoDB and start the backup, the time to complete this task is depending on the DB size

C:\Users\dkarch.SVA>mongodump --host IPLOCALHOST --authenticationDatabase admin -u bvq -p P@ssw0rd --gzip -j 8 --out C:\Temp\test-backup

    5.   Stop all Scanner Configurations on the old BVQ-Server

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

    7.   Stop all BVQ services but "bvq-mongodb"

    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 --gzip -j 8 C:\bvq
