The steps for migrating your NFA Console and/or Harvester servers to a new server can be found in the links below:
The work flow for doing this and some additional tips are below:
1. Install the same version of NFA on the new server, if possible to the same drive and directory path.
Before installing the Console on the new server, make sure you go through and install the prerequisites from the two links below:
2. The guide says to back the full \CA\NFA\Netflow\datafiles\ directory but you only need the directories below and copy over to the new server, this will take some time:
3. If NFA is linked to PC, go into DX NetOps ->Administration->Data Sources and Disable the NFA Data Source, DO NOT DELETE THE DATA SOURCE.
4. Shutdown all services on the current servers except the CA Mysql Service.
5. Backup the mysql databases on all servers in your current environment using mysqldump as outlined in steps 3c for the Harvester and 4c for the Console in the link above.
6. Copy .sql files from the last step over to the new servers and restore them with the steps from the guide.
7. Restore the mysqldump files by following steps 3h (in the NFA Upgrade documentation) for the Harvester and 4g (also in the NFA Upgrade documentation) for the console server.
8. If you have installed to a new drive or directory path, follow step 10 of the article below, if not, skip this step:

9. If the hostname has changed, go into DX NetOps ->Administration->Data Sources and EDIT the NFA Data Source with the new hostname. DO NOT DELETE THE NFA DATA SOURCE.
10. Start all CA NFA* and NetQos* services on the servers.
12. Enable the NFA Data Source in PC.
If you are running NFA 22.2.4+, you will need to change the IP Address in the ReporterAnalyzer.ini file located in D:/CA/NFA/DBUSERS/
