[mythtv-users] turning things over - migrate to new master backend

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

Greets, mythtv-users,

I assume that my current situation is somehow an faq, but I couldn't yet
find fitting information and as I am very cautious to not ruin my
current mythtv-setup I decided to simply ask once more, instead of doing
the wrong thing(s).

Until yesterday I simply had a combined FE/BE-setup: one box with one
DVB-S card, one SATA-disk, additional NFS4-mount in the same storage group.

Now I bought a second DVB-S-card and put it into another box in the
basement: that box should become the new master backend in the end, with
both DVB-S-cards and all the harddisks, while the former FE/BE should
then run as a diskless FE.

Now I wonder how to migrate my installation with the least complications.

Right now I have the two backends, one master, one slave, works fine
after some initial learning steps (how to handle storage etc).

What procedure would you recommend?

Migrate the backend to the new hardware by following this:

http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.7

?

I think it would be best to "de-myth" the current MBE step by step, at
first set up the new MBE in the basement, maybe nfs-mounting the stored
recordings from upstairs to the basement for a start.

I think it all comes down to "migrate to new hw", correct?

Is the mentioned link enough?

What about the changed hostname/IP of the MBE? Simply change it with
mythtv-setup on all boxes?

It's very likely that I think way too complicated here, but that's the
reason for asking here before crashing it all up ;-)

Thanks for any advice on this,
Stefan
