    can you have another server as replication server to the old server? if yes, then change the MSL list once the replication is successful.

    else you need to copy sylink.xml on these clients to move to new SEPM

    well if the data is less and bandwdith is good you can do it in a hours /minutes time. Once this is done, you need to change Management server list on the groups of the old SEPM  to make th enew SEPM and 1st proirity and 2nd as old SEPM. This time will be based on heartbeat of client machines. If it is 30 nmins/1 hour, you should see this task completed in 4 hours max unless clients are offline.

    How long does replication take?
    A2: That will depend on the size of the database as well as network links between the sites. You should do a replication and see how long it takes and then schedule your replication based on that time.
    Detailed Answer: Ideally, the following items have been reviewed prior to the install of the database and each SEPM:
    1. The network links between the SEPM and the data base have been tested for effective performance (Ask about the AppCritical test.) and worked on as required.
    2. The individual systems involved (SEPM's and the databases) meet or exceed the system requirements.
    3. The NIC's on each system are relatively new and have the newest drivers installed.
    After the physical hardware has been reviewed and determined to be performing satisfactorily, as these items can have a significant impact on the amount of time it takes for the replication to be accomplished, then setting up and observing one replication partner will be critical for planning purposes. Once a replication cycle has been observed and how long it takes to accomplish, then effectively scheduling the replication for each SEPM, without overlap, can be accomplished. See Q3 below for additional detail.
