It's been a while since I've "moved" a repository from one host to
another.  IIRC, the Node must be updated manually in that case.

Just do it through a normal transaction.  Open the repository with a
local session, #begin, update the node the hostname and port the
primary will be running on, then #commit.  If you want to do HA, make
a #fullBackup AFTER you start primary and copy those backup files to
your secondary host and start it up (you may rename the repository
directory in the target if you wish - Magma doesn't care).  That
secondary will look into the persistent Node to know where to connect
to the primary to receive updates.

I run all my my repositories HA, but my environment and processes have
been stable for a couple of years now - so it's been a while since
I've been in the HA code - so please forgive my going by memory here.
Let me know if you have any troubles.
