Note: You can read about a second method to migrate ArcGIS Enterprise to new machines in our April 2019 blog<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Migrating to new machines without disrupting service is a common desire for ArcGIS Enterprise administrators. There are many reasons you may want or need to swap out a machine in your ArcGIS Enterprise deployment without changing anything else. Perhaps you\u2019re experiencing hardware performance issues, or you want to run a newer operating system. Today, we\u2019d like to highlight a simple process to\u00a0achieve this.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Join Site\u00a0<\/strong>operation in ArcGIS Server and Portal for ArcGIS is typically used to add a standby machine to a site for high availability and disaster recovery, protecting your ArcGIS Enterprise deployment from system downtime and data loss in the event of tech failure.<\/p>\n

Learn more about high availability and disaster recovery in ArcGIS Enterprise<\/a><\/p>\n

However, Join Site can be utilized to swap out a machine from your server site or portal as well. The important thing to remember is that when you do this, you first make a complete copy of important directories – the ArcGIS Enterprise portal’s content directory, and the ArcGIS Server directories and configuration store – before you remove the old machine from the site.<\/p>\n

After we go over these workflows for a portal and a server site, we’ll also see how a similar approach replaces a machine in an ArcGIS Data Store site.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

<\/h1>\n

Utilize Join Site to migrate a machine<\/h1>\n

This can be used to migrate a machine running an ArcGIS Enterprise portal or an ArcGIS Server site. In this method, content directories are moved from the local drive on your old machine to a shared location on the network. The joinSite operation is performed to connect the new machine; then, the old machine is unregistered, the content directory is moved to the local drive of the new machine, and any relevant URLs are redirected to the new machine.<\/p>\n

Note: due to the dependency on shared storage between machines that participate in the same site, this should only be used if the machine you’re migrating to is within the same data center as the original machine. If you are migrating to machines in a separate data center, consider using the WebGIS DR tool method described here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. Move the content directory<\/b><\/span>\u00a0for the portal to a shared folder on your network. Log in to the old machine, and follow the steps in our documentation to do this:\u00a0<\/span>here\u00a0<\/a><\/span>for Windows users, and\u00a0<\/span>here\u00a0<\/a><\/span>for Linux users. Don’t forget to copy the content over to the new location before making the switch.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
      \n
    1. Install Portal for ArcGIS<\/b><\/span>\u00a0on the new machine, following our\u00a0<\/span>install guides<\/a><\/span>. Don’t create a new portal yet. Use the same install directory and location for the default content directory as your original Portal for ArcGIS machine.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
      \n
        \n
      1. Join the new machine to the site<\/b><\/span>. From the new machine, log in to the ArcGIS Portal Administrator Directory, and click on the\u00a0<\/span>Join Site\u00a0<\/b><\/span>operation. Provide the admin URL for the\u00a0<\/span>old machine’s existing site\u00a0<\/b><\/span>(in the format https:\/\/portalhost.domain.com:7443<\/em>), and the credentials of its initial administrator account. Now, the portal site will have both the old machine and the new machine joined to it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
        \n
          \n
        1. Unregister the old machine<\/b><\/span>\u00a0from the site. From the admin directory’s home page, click\u00a0<\/span>Machines > unregister<\/b><\/span>. On the operation page, select the old machine’s name<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>from the drop-down menu, and confirm\u00a0<\/span>Unregister<\/b><\/span>. When the operation is complete, your new machine will be alone in the portal site.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
          \n
            \n
          1. Move the content directory\u00a0<\/b><\/span>from its network shared location to the local drive of the new machine. The steps will mirror the first migration you did; don’t forget to first copy the content from the shared location to the new machine’s content directory location.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
            \n
              \n
            1. If applicable,\u00a0<\/span>update the privatePortalURL property<\/b><\/span>. This is an internal URL used by federated servers to access the portal in various scenarios (such as when you have a reverse proxy set up); if you haven’t already configured it, you don’t need to do anything.\u00a0<\/span>Sign into the Server Admin API<\/span>\u00a0for each server federated with your portal,<\/span>\u00a0and navigate to\u00a0<\/span>security > config > update<\/b><\/span>. Set the value of the\u00a0<\/span>privatePortalURL<\/b><\/span>\u00a0property to\u00a0<\/span>direct to the new machine you’ve swapped in.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
