# Migrate the HA data

We may need to migrate the current HA to another HA in a different Data Center at times; this article will show you how to do so.

1. Use SSH client connect to current HA master node, perform the command to ensure you are in the master node

   ```
    pcs status 
   ```
2. On the master node, perform the below commands to stop it and pack the data

   ```
   pcs resource disable pbx 
   cd /var/lib/pbx/  
   tar cvfp data.tar.gz portsip/  
   ```
3. Now will need to copy the `data.tar.gz` to the `/root` folder of new HA master node.
4. Start HA in current HA. (*this step is unnecessary if no need to run the current HA)*

   ```
   pcs resource enable pbx && pcs resource cleanup 
   ```
5. Now in new HA master node, perform the below commands

   ```
   pcs resource disable pbx   
   cd /var/lib/pbx/      
   rm -rf portsip/      
   tar zxf /root/data.tar.gz    
   docker start pbx  
   ```
6. The above steps will take a bit long time, use the below command to ensure the PBX is started

   ```
   docker logs pbx  
   ```
7. if you don't want to config store the data to AWS S3, skip steps 7, 8, and 9. Perform the below command if the PBX is successfully started

   ```
   docker stop pbx  
   ```
8. Configure the AWS S3
9. Perform the command to start the HA:

```
pcs resource enable pbx && pcs resource cleanup  
```

10\. Now run the PBX setup wizard again to configure the PBX
