I tried tarring the /var/lib/chef, /etc/chef, /etc/couchdb, and  /var/lib/couchdb  directories on my old server, and replacing them on my new server, but I’m getting failed to authenticate errors when using knife against the new server.

Is there an easy way to migrate chef servers without having to re-gen the client keys for every node and copy a new validation.pem file?
