SEPM 12.1 Move To New Server Question
I am trying to move our only SEPM server (Version 12.1.1000.157 RU1) from an old server (SERVER1) to a new server (SERVER2) while keeping the same IP address and server name. Both servers are running SQL 2005. I have backed up the SQL 2005 database on SERVER1 and successfully re-attached it to SERVER2. I have done all the disaster recovery procedures on SERVER1 per the following link (http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?pag...). I have installed the same version of SEPM on SERVER2 and have started the Management Server Configuration wizard and selected "Custom configuration" and "Use a recovery file". It then presents me with three options: Install my first site, Install an additional management server to an existing site, Install an additional site. I am unsure of which one to choose. Could anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you very much.

Hello,
Click on "Install my first site" as there is no Replication OR failover in your case.

Hello. Yes, I have checked those links. When I proceed thru the wizard, I have told it to use an existing SQL Server database annd I eventually get a message: The specified database contains user data. Installing a new site will clear all existing data. Are you sure?
I do not want to remove the old data and would like to retain it.
Thank you.
Are you using the SQL on the same server or you have it on different Server? Installing a new site will surely clear the existing data. I gues you are performing Disaster Recovery Procedure. Try to go with the Replication Procedure.

@ Ajit: I have moved the SQL DB to the new server and that seems to be fine. Replication does not seem applicable if I am trying to keep the same IP and host name?
@Ashish: I will check the link.
Thank you!
