How to Migrate a DPM Server to New Hardware

適用於: System Center Data Protection Manager 2010

To ensure data source protection and availability of recovery points across the process, you should create a plan for the DPM server migration process, including considerations of the following factors:

  • The service level agreement (SLA) that you need to maintain for the period of the migration.

  • The length of time that you can continue running the existing DPM server before retiring or repurposing it.

  • Maintenance windows for the protected computers.

To migrate a DPM server to new hardware,

  1. Install DPM on a new server. For more information, see Installing DPM 2010 (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=179156).

  2. Identify a protected computer to migrate and run SetDPMServer.exe -DPMServerName <Name of new DPM server> on the protected computer.

  3. Run the PowerShell script Attach-ProductionServer.ps1 from the DPM Management Shell on the DPM server.

    注意

    For more information about using the Attach-ProductionServer script, see Installing Protection Agents Manually (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=185786).

  4. Create protection groups on the new DPM server for the protected computers. For more information, see Configuring DPM 2010 (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=179157).

  5. Maintain the previous DPM server until the recovery points from inactive replicas on it are no longer required.
