  • 1.  How can you rename/move the domain manager?

    Posted May 07, 2019 02:48 AM

    Hello,

     

    we need to update the server OS for our Domain Manager and the connected database server. I was able to find information on how to move the database and something about renaming the domain manager through DSM explorer.

    But our scenario would probably look like this:

    - install new server with new host name for the Domain Manager

    - either on the same or dedicated DB server install new SQL Server (on new SQL Server release) and recover database

     

    How can I make this work?

    Is it possible to simply tell the scalability servers to report to a new Domain Manager?

    Will the involved systems (Domain Manager, Scalability Servers, Agents) keep their history and install information up to that point?

    Is there a guide/white paper for that purpose that I have overlooked?

     

    Thanks in advance,

     

    Marco Lorenz

    You best bet, would be to follow the backup and restore procedures but you

    must keep the same old hostname for the new server.
