  • 1.  Initialize Of Database Required

    Posted Oct 11, 2017 03:15 AM

    Hi all, 

    Current Configuration: 

    1) Server A (First Server) on Remote SQL DB server (MS SQL 2012) 

    2) Server B - To configure to become replication partner for Server A

    Both servers are on SEPM 14

    My objective is create a replication partner with my current primary SEPM 14 server. 

    During the setting up of my SEPM partner replication server, would you create a new SQL or use back the existing SQL DB for replication? Because whenever I select the lattter option I will be prompted with the following dialog box: 

    If I initialize the DB my primary SEPM server DB schema will be wipe out thus unable to login. Therefore I am wondering should I create a new SQL DB for my replication partner server instead? Anyone encounter such issue before?

    I'm following the below article to build the replication partner: https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.HOWTO81217.html#v9336553 

    Thank you in advance.

    Cokex

    The site you are wanting replicate must have it's own database type and the same kind as your first server. Is this the case?

    Thank you, Brian, for the quick response. 

    If I understand you correctly, during the installation of this partner SEPM, I should create a new SQL DB instead of using the SQL DB from the primary SEPM server. Is that what you meant? 

    Thank you, 

    Cokex

    Yes if the new SEPM has it's own SQL database you can set it up as new then when you setup replication between the two SEPM's depending on what you setup for it to copy over the new SEPM database will copy it over from the old SEPM database.
