Symptoms
A Provider wants to migrate their PBA installed on an outdated RHEL 4 server, to an RHEL 6 or CentOS 6 server. They follow the instructions in the PBA Migration Guide.
The pba_migrate script with the parameter _check _or _prepare _completes successfully. Being run with the parameter migrate, the script fails with the _PBA APP configuration failed _error message like in the example below:
+7m 13s [ DIE ] [main] PBA APP configuration failed
[Call stack]:
'Log::blog' at line 132
'main::do_migrate' at line 310
'main::main' at line 552
The Provider wants to troubleshoot the problem.
Resolution
Look at the /tmp/migrate_rh6.log file on the server where the pba_migrate script was run for possible error messages and detailed diagnostics.
The above-mentioned log file contains the specific commands that the migration script is trying to run, like in the example below:
[7m 13s] [DEBUG] [SSH::Connection] Success
[7m 13s] [INFO] [main] Check if `pba.db`(new) configs modification required on change of IP address at nodes

[7m 13s] [DEBUG] [SSH::Connection] OUT: ; ERR: ; EXIT: 115
[7m 13s] [DIE] [main] PBA APP configuration failed
In the log above, it may be seen that the pba_migrate script failed to run the following command on the target PBA application server (pba.app.new):
/usr/local/bm/tools/configure.pl --unattended &>/dev/null
Log in to the target PBA application server and check the log file of the configure.pl script: /usr/local/bm/tools/tools.log
Try to run the failed script manually:
cd /usr/local/bm/tools/ && ./configure.pl
Analyze the diagnostics that the script provides on the console to troubleshoot the problem.
