I have manually migrated a previous instance to a new box. Migration was successful.
Migration steps are as follows:
1. copied all indexers and all configs under $splunkHome$ to the new box
2. rpm -i 7.0.5 splunk software
3. we changed our splunk home dir from /opt/splunk to /splunkhome/splunk
4. I have to change etc/splunk-launch.conf to the new home dir - splunk can come up.
But, when I try to upgrade Splunk by using command `rpm -U splunk-7.1.2-software` , I found Splunk did an install under /opt and did not do any upgrade under /splunkhome .
Is this expected? Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks in advance
