Copy Indices to new Server

Andrew_Lakes · September 2, 2014, 1:35pm

Hey guys,

we have set up a new physical ES-server in order to get more ressources for
our ELK-Stack.

On our old server we got about 1.8 TB/ 127 Indices which have to be
available on the new server.

So we copied the the indices to the new server, which have the same
configuration as the old server and set the permissions so that
elasticsearch can read/write on the indices.

We restarted elasticsearch so that ES can initialise the indices properly,
but unfortunate it didnt load them into the cluster.

Is there anything you have to configure that we dont have already done, in
order to copy the indices?

Thanks for response

Can you elaborate which directory you copied from and to, ie the full path?
Did you make any changes at all in the config on the new server?

Hi,

i copied from /data/es_index/elasticsearch/nodes/0/indices to
/data/es/t2//nodes/0/indices/

So indeed i change the clustername and have version 1.3.2 instead of 1.3.1
on the new server.

Beside that i havent changed anything.

Cheers

Did you change path.data as well in elasticsearch.yml?

If not, what are the two values you have on each node.

Hi,

on the new server i´ve set up an internal elasticsearch cluster in order to
move the indices to a slower storage.

On the slower storage node the setting is:
path.data: /data/es/t2

On the fast one
path.data: /data/es/t1

On the old server the setting was:

path.data: /data/es_index

Could it be that there went sth. wrong on the copy-process? Like some
"metadata" weren´t copied right?
