  • 1.  Clone SEPM VM

    Posted May 26, 2017 04:15 PM

    I want to have a test SEPM vm similar on current setup... My plan is to clone the current VM thou I am not sure about the DB? what is the configuration and what I need to modify on cloned VM?

    Are you pointing it to a remote DB or is this the embedded DB? You also need to re-name it.

    Since you did mention anything about your DB I am giving the suggestion based on both embedded and SQL DB. 

     

    lets first looks that prerequisites:

    two host names, one for SEPM and one for SQL DB server (assuming you using one and are going to segregate it from production SEPM DB)

    and two IP address as in above scenario

     

    Now if you are using SEPM with embedded DB, simply clone the VM. Then change the IP address and host name of your TEST VM. finally you have you run management server configuration wizard to update the SEPM and DB hosts details in the DB and the MSL so that your test clients can communicate to test SEPM.

     

    on the other hand if you are using an SQL DB the steps are similar with little changes where you will have to point the SEPM to your new test SQL server.

    it is a remoteDB..

    what we have are

    -SEPM
    -DBofSEPM

    plans to do:

    1. clone SEPM
    2. seperate it on production network
    3. change the IP
    4. change the hostname

     

    Now on DB:
    -Do I need to create a clone?
     

    -Anyone has guideline for this tasks?
