you don't want to move the database cluster in this case!
Add the database cluster's config files postgresql.conf, pg_hba.conf, pg_ident.conf or whatever to the tar file. Then,
onthe new host, do an initdb and after that, copy the old config files into the new PGDATA. Then start the new (empty
andfree of databases) database cluster.
So:
tar cvf /tmp/postgresql11.tar /usr/local/sisis-pap/pgsql /data/postgresql11/*.conf
Cheers,
Paul
