(You will need to add "versioned_cookbooks true" to your knife.rb for this to work.)

This should be sufficient:

1. Point all your chef-clients at the (empty) new server

2. "knife download /" from your old server

3. "knife upload /" to your new server

So it seems I’ve been asked to migrate my chef11 server from one hosting company to another.

 Any good suggestions/ideas/gotchas/tutorials to do this? I’d really like not to have to have every client.pem have to be recreated and re-check in.

Thanks in advance!
