Environment

Procedure
Requirements:
Customers need to be on Confluence single server version 5.9 in order to switch to the latest version of Confluence Data Center.
To get started:
If you're upgrading in test environment, copy your current production single server install following the Migrating Confluence Between Servers doc. Then, upgrade to Data Center.
About Data Center:
Moving single node to clustered setup:
Note: Make sure your first Confluence node is up and running and then you will copy the Confluence application to the second node:
- Shut down Confluence on node 1
- Shut down your application server on node 2, or stop it automatically loading web applications
- Copy the installation directory from node 1 to node 2
- Copy the local home directory from node 1 to node 2
If the file path of the local home directory is not the same on nodes 1 and 2, you’ll need to update the <installation directory>/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/confluence-init.properties file on node 2 to point to the correct location. Copying the local home directory ensures the Confluence search index, the database and cluster configuration, and any other settings are copied to node 2.
