Second controller / second domoticz

Hi all,
I'm struggling with something what I wanted to do for some time.
When I started using domoticz I tried to get it running on a pi with razberry including xbmc. Unfortunately it did't work in that setting so I migrated to windows server with an aeon stick.
I would like to use my pi for domoticz due to the fact I bought a new version for kodi.
Summarized:
Currently primary domoticz on windows with a eaon stik.
Would like to have the secondary domoticz on the older pi with razberry, including the zwave network I have on the primary.
Is this possible? Or is this only possible by creating a new network...
Kind regards,
Will

Thank you very much for the wiki link doomotic, however it is not exactly what I'm looking for.
The device sharing and the commands still goes via the primary domoiticz, what I'm looking for is a way to replicate the specific zwave configuration and devices so I've a redundant system.
Kind regards,
Will

On the hardware config for your pi just choose receive configuration from other controller. At the same time you set your Windows system in unclouded mode. You will then end up with the pi as secondary controller that can act independently from the Windows system

Thank you very much leby!
I'm trying to send my configuration from my windows controller and choose receive configuration at my pi, however it doesn't work.

Did you ever get to fix this? I'm trying the exact same thing (2 pi's one with a usb z-wave stick, the other with a razberry).

so, at the receiving site I push the button "receive configuration from other controller"
The log shows the following error
2016-06-30 21:53:55.564 OpenZWave: Command is starting
2016-06-30 21:53:55.568 OpenZWave: Receive Configuration initiated...

Strange as there is no NodeId 255
