## Key Takeaways for VICIdial Migration

- Every VICIdial migration depends on two decisions: like-for-like versus move-plus-upgrade, and single-server versus cluster. Misclassifying either path can overwrite custom dialplan or restore an incompatible database schema.
- Pre-flight inventory is mandatory. Capture SVN revision, Asterisk version, db_schema_version, and all server IPs before provisioning the new host to avoid guesswork during cutover.
- Database backups must include both ADMIN_backup.pl –debugX and a separate mysqldump with routines and triggers. Each file supports a different restore scenario, and both must be retained.
- Server IP changes complete only after ADMIN_update_server_ip.pl updates the system_settings and servers tables, VARserver_ip is corrected in astguiclient.conf, and carrier trunks plus firewalls are re-registered to the new address.
- Plura AI replaces ongoing VICIdial maintenance by taking over Asterisk, MariaDB schema upgrades, and custom AGI management with a fully managed AI predictive dialer platform.

## Two VICIdial Migration Decisions That Drive Your Plan

Most failed VICIdial migrations trace back to one of two misclassifications. Operators often follow a generic procedure that does not match their actual environment, which produces outcomes like overwritten custom dialplans or stale IPs left in the database. Classify the job accurately before running any commands.

**Like-for-Like vs. Move-Plus-Upgrade.** A like-for-like move keeps the same SVN revision and the same database schema version on the new hardware. The database restores directly and no upgrade SQL files are required. Risk centers on IP changes and config file preservation. A move-plus-upgrade changes the SVN revision and the expected schema version. The database upgrade SQL files in the `extras/` directory must be applied sequentially, and skipping or reordering them can corrupt the schema. This path introduces schema-mismatch risk that a like-for-like move avoids.

**Single Server vs. Cluster.** A single-server migration moves one host. A cluster migration moves the database, web, and dialer roles independently, each with its own provisioning sequence, and requires updating server definitions in Admin > Servers for every role that changes IP. All cluster nodes must run the same SVN revision and the same `ExpectedDBSchema` value in `/etc/astguiclient.conf`. Mixed versions create unpredictable behavior across the cluster.

Single-server operators follow all sections except “Migrating a Multi-Server VICIdial Cluster.” Cluster operators follow every section. Like-for-like operators skip “VICIdial Upgrade Database Schema.” Move-plus-upgrade operators treat that section as mandatory.

## How to Migrate VICIdial to a New Server (Step-by-Step)

This sequence covers a single-server like-for-like move on equivalent hardware. Cluster operators repeat the relevant steps per role, and move-plus-upgrade operators add the schema upgrade process described in the next section.

1. Capture SVN revision, Asterisk version, and `db_schema_version` from the `system_settings` table.
2. Run `perl /usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_backup.pl --debugX` on every database host.
3. Take an independent `mysqldump --single-transaction --routines --triggers` of the `asterisk` database.
4. Archive `/etc/asterisk`, `/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin`, and recordings from `/var/spool/asterisk/monitor` and `/var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE`.
5. Provision the new server with the identical ViciBox ISO or target SVN revision.
6. Restore the database and apply sequential `extras/upgrade_x.xx.sql` files if upgrading.
7. Run `ADMIN_update_server_ip.pl` if the server IP changed.
8. Diff custom config files against the archived `/etc/asterisk` before overwriting anything.
9. Re-register carrier trunks and update firewall allow-lists for the new IP.
10. Restart DAHDI, Asterisk, Apache, and verify cron jobs are running on the correct hosts.
11. Validate with a test agent call and keep the old server isolated and powered on for at least 48 hours.

Before you run any of those steps, capture the current state of the source server so you know which migration path you are on.

## Pre-Flight Inventory for VICIdial Migration

Start by confirming the current schema version:

```
SELECT db_schema_version FROM asterisk.system_settings LIMIT 1;
```

[The current VICIdial SVN trunk as of March 2026 is revision 3939+, version 2.14b0.5, with database schema version 1729.](https://scribd.com/document/1017632221/Vicidial-Setup-Guide) Record your SVN revision (`svn info /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk`), Asterisk version (`asterisk -rx 'core show version'`), OS version, all server IPs, and the locations of any custom AGI scripts. Together these values define your migration path. The SVN revision determines whether you need upgrade SQL files. The schema version determines whether a direct restore is safe. The IP determines whether `ADMIN_update_server_ip.pl` is required. Missing any of them before provisioning the new server forces guesswork during cutover.

[CentOS 7, the OS referenced by roughly 90% of older VICIdial installation guides, reached end-of-life in June 2024](https://scribd.com/document/1017632221/Vicidial-Setup-Guide), which makes those guides obsolete for 2026 deployments. If your source server runs CentOS 7, treat this migration as a move-plus-upgrade and plan for OS replatforming to ViciBox 12.x (openSUSE Leap 15.6), AlmaLinux 9, or Rocky Linux 9 on the destination.

## How to Back Up VICIdial with ADMIN_backup.pl

A reliable backup set is the safety net for every migration. Many failed moves trace back to incomplete or missing backups.

[Run the backup script with the --debugX flag on every server that hosts the database](https://scribd.com/document/1017089136/Vicidial-34-New-Features):

```
perl /usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_backup.pl --debugX
```

On dialer-only hosts in a multi-server cluster, use the flags that skip database and web components:

```
perl /usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_backup.pl --without-db --without-web --debugX
```

Follow that with an independent `mysqldump` that captures stored routines and triggers:

```
mysqldump --single-transaction --routines --triggers asterisk > /root/vicidial_backup_$(date +%Y%m%d).sql
```

The `ADMIN_backup.pl` script and the `mysqldump` file serve different purposes. The script captures VICIdial-specific state. The `mysqldump` gives you a raw SQL file you can restore on any compatible MariaDB instance without VICIdial tooling. Keep both.

## VICIdial Upgrade Database Schema

The rule is strict: restore an old database into newer code only after applying the sequential upgrade SQL files. The upgrade path must follow the exact order of the versioned scripts in the `extras/` directory. For example, moving across those schema eras means running `upgrade_2.6.sql`, then `upgrade_2.8.sql`, then `upgrade_2.10.sql`, `upgrade_2.12.sql`, and `upgrade_2.14.sql` in sequence. Skipping a file is unsafe even if the statements in it appear redundant.

Apply each file with the `-f` flag so a partially applied script continues past already-applied statements:

```
mysql -f asterisk < /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk/extras/upgrade_2.14.sql
```

After each file, recheck the schema version before proceeding to the next:

```
SELECT db_schema_version FROM asterisk.system_settings LIMIT 1;
```

[If the admin interface warns that the code expects a different schema version, rerun the appropriate upgrade SQL from the extras/ directory.](https://scribd.com/document/1017632221/Vicidial-Setup-Guide) A schema mismatch warning means the code expects a different value than what is stored in `asterisk.system_settings.db_schema_version`. Do not proceed to cutover while a mismatch remains.

## VICIdial Server IP Change Checklist

A Linux IP change alone does not complete a VICIdial IP move. VICIdial stores the server IP in multiple database tables, and those references must be updated or the system continues trying to reach the old address.

Run the IP update script with both old and new IPs specified:

```
/usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_update_server_ip.pl --old-server_ip=OLD_IP --new-server_ip=NEW_IP --debugX
```

After running the script, verify `server_ip` in `system_settings` and both `server_ip` and `active_asterisk_server` in the `servers` table:

```
SELECT server_ip FROM asterisk.system_settings LIMIT 1; SELECT server_ip, active_asterisk_server FROM asterisk.servers;
```

Update `VARserver_ip` in `/etc/astguiclient.conf` to match the new IP. It must not be `127.0.0.1` or blank. After the database and config file are updated, re-register carrier trunks against the new IP and update every firewall allow-list that referenced the old address.

## Custom Config and AGI Preservation

[The VICIdial installer and upgrade process can overwrite customized files](https://scribd.com/document/1017089136/Vicidial-34-New-Features), so local modifications must be captured before provisioning the new server. Use `diff -ru` to compare the archived config against the freshly installed files rather than overwriting wholesale:

```
diff -ru /root/backup/etc/asterisk/extensions-custom.conf /etc/asterisk/extensions-custom.conf
```

[The five /etc/asterisk files that must be reviewed on every migration are:](https://scribd.com/document/1017632594/Vicidial-Asterisk-Configuration)

- `extensions-custom.conf`
- `sip_custom.conf`
- `pjsip_custom.conf`
- `manager.conf`
- `rtp.conf`

These files hold site-specific dialplan, SIP settings, PJSIP settings, AMI settings, and RTP settings. VICIdial generates the base files automatically. Hand-edited changes belong in the `*_custom.conf` variants, not in the generated files the installer may regenerate.

## Migrating a Multi-Server VICIdial Cluster

[VICIdial clusters separate core roles across dedicated machines: a database server running MariaDB, one or more dialer servers running Asterisk, and a separate web server for the admin and agent UI.](https://scribd.com/document/1017631696/Vicidial-Cluster-Guide) Migrate each role independently in this order: database first, web second, dialer nodes last. Cutting over the database before the dialers ensures all nodes write to the correct host before call processing resumes.

For each role that changes IP, follow this sequence:

1. Provision the new host with the same SVN revision as the rest of the cluster.
2. Restore or replicate the database to the new DB host before any other role moves.
3. Update server definitions in Admin > Servers for every host that changed address.
4. Run `ADMIN_update_server_ip.pl` for each IP change.
5. Verify `ExpectedDBSchema` in `/etc/astguiclient.conf` matches across all nodes.

All cluster servers must run the same VICIdial SVN revision and the same `ExpectedDBSchema` value. Mixed versions cause unpredictable behavior. Singleton processes must run on exactly one server. Running `AST_VDadapt.pl` (adaptive dialing rate) or `AST_VDauto_dial_FILL.pl` (fill/balance dialer) on more than one node is the single most dangerous cluster misconfiguration. It causes conflicting dial-level calculations and double-dialed leads.

Time synchronization is critical. Even a 2-3 second drift between servers causes conference bridge timing mismatches and agent session overlap errors. Verify all node clocks are within 0.01 seconds of each other using chrony before completing cutover.

## VICIdial Migration Rollback Plan

Keeping a rollback path protects production if validation fails. Keep the old server powered on and isolated from production traffic for at least 48 hours after cutover, though [many migration guides recommend keeping it available for longer (one week to 30 days)](https://vicifast.com/migrate-from-vicibox) as a rollback safety net. Do not decommission it until validation is complete.

Before declaring the migration successful, run this validation checklist:

- Compare row counts on key tables (`vicidial_log`, `vicidial_list`, `vicidial_campaigns`) between old and new database.
- Run `asterisk -rx 'core show channels'` and confirm active channels are on the new server.
- Run `asterisk -rx 'sip show peers'` and `asterisk -rx 'pjsip show endpoints'` to verify trunk registration.
- Place a test agent call end-to-end and confirm audio in both directions.
- Verify recording playback from `/var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE` on the new host.
- Confirm cron jobs are running on the correct hosts, with singleton processes on one dialer only.

If any validation step fails, repoint carrier trunks and firewall rules back to the old server IP. [The old VICIdial server’s database is the authoritative rollback point only if no writes (Disposition updates or DNC additions) have been committed to the new VICIdial server since cutover](https://vicifast.com/blog/migrate-rollback-plan). If both servers have accepted writes, export and sync those changes back to the old platform before redirecting agents.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Do I Need to Change the Server IP in the Database?

IP changes require database updates when the IP changes. Changing the Linux network interface address alone is not sufficient. VICIdial stores the server IP in the `system_settings` table and in the `servers` table. Run `ADMIN_update_server_ip.pl` with the old and new IPs specified, then verify `server_ip` in `system_settings` and `server_ip` plus `active_asterisk_server` in `servers`. Also update `VARserver_ip` in `/etc/astguiclient.conf`. Any remaining reference to the old IP can cause processes to fail to connect or attempt to reach the decommissioned host.

### Can I Migrate VICIdial and Upgrade the Version at the Same Time?

A combined migration and upgrade is possible when the schema upgrade path is followed precisely. Restore the old database to the new server first. Then apply the sequential `extras/upgrade_x.xx.sql` files in order, rechecking `db_schema_version` in `system_settings` after each file before proceeding to the next. Do not restore an old database directly into a newer codebase without running the upgrade scripts. The `-f` flag on `mysql` allows a partially applied script to continue past already-applied statements safely, which helps when a script run is interrupted.

### How Do I Migrate a Multi-Server VICIdial Cluster?

Cluster migrations follow the database-first order described earlier. Move the database role first, then the web role, then the dialer nodes. For each role that changes IP, run `ADMIN_update_server_ip.pl` and update the server definition in Admin > Servers. Ensure all nodes are provisioned with the same SVN revision before any node goes live. Verify that `ExpectedDBSchema` in `/etc/astguiclient.conf` matches across every node. Singleton processes, including the adaptive dialing rate script and the fill/balance dialer, must run on exactly one dialer node. Confirm this in the `VARactive_keepalives` setting on each server before resuming dialing.

### How Do I Roll Back a Failed VICIdial Migration?

The rollback window and reconciliation steps appear in the Rollback Plan section above. The key decision is whether any writes have been committed to the new server since cutover. If both environments have accepted writes, reconcile those records before restoring service on the original host.

### How Long Does a VICIdial Migration Take?

A single-server like-for-like move on equivalent hardware typically fits within a planned maintenance window of two to four hours, assuming backups are pre-staged and the new server is already provisioned. A move-plus-upgrade takes longer because each sequential schema upgrade SQL file must be applied and verified before the next. A cluster migration takes longer again because each role is migrated independently and inter-node validation must be completed before resuming production dialing. Operators running CentOS 7 source servers should budget additional time for the OS replatforming described in the Pre-Flight Inventory section.

## After the Migration: Shift Away From Legacy Dialer Maintenance

A completed VICIdial migration moves your dialer to new hardware but keeps the same operational overhead. Teams still maintain Asterisk, MariaDB, custom AGI scripts, DAHDI timing, and the schema upgrade cycle that comes with every SVN update. Many operators who complete this migration and want to reduce that maintenance burden adopt Plura AI as a VICIdial alternative.
