About this task

This topic describes how to migrate data from an on-premise Historian server to Proficy Historian for AWS using S3 EFS.

Procedure

  1. Rename the local .ihc file as historian-archiver-sts-0_Config.ihc.
  2. Migrate data from an on-premise Historian server to an S3 bucket. For the S3 bucket, we recommend that you use the same location in which you have deployed Proficy Historian for AWS. This step is required only if you are using any of the snow family options.
  3. Migrate data from the S3 bucket to EFS. Provide the same subnet and security group details that you have used while deploying Proficy Historian for AWS. Provide the source as s3 and destination as efs. The path should be /archiver/archives.
    An execution task is created in AWS DataSync.
  4. In the security group, add all traffic port (use the same security group which is used while creating the DataSync task). If the port already exists, try to delete and recreate the port again.
  5. Start the DataSync task.
    The task is executed, and the data is migrated to EFS.
  6. Restart the Data Archiver.
