Himanshu,

The quick and dirty way of doing that is to dump your database on server A, then import that dump into Postgresql on server B.

On server A:
$ pg_dump openacs > dump.sql

On server B:
$ createdb openacs
$ psql openacs < dump.sql

Finally copy your openacs server directory from server A to server B.  Start up aolserver, and that should do it.
