Migrate SharePoint's SQL Server (physical) to another SQL Server (virtual server)

Infrastructure team is migrating domain\SQLSERVER db to new ‘XYZ’ Location. Also they are moving these DBs to virtual server. Currently these are physical DB servers.
I am trying to keep the server names as same ‘SQLSERVER ‘, but IP address may change. Does it have any impact on MOSS environment and what configuration changes need to be done, if needed???
Note: - i am using alias for my share point 2010 server .
SERVER INFO
2 WEB SERVER , 1 APPS SERVER
NINTEX Workflow Database without Sql "Alias"
No any Customization only 2 site colleciton with Nintex workflow.

You can move all content databases to another SQL server, but moving Configuration DB will have impact on the farm. You can make it work using SQL Alias created on SP server using cliconfg.exe utility but some of the services will break on your farm. As
far as I know It is not recommended to move config db from one sql server to another.
You can check below link for referrence on moving databases from one sql to another sql:

Can Adobe Media Server be installed on a Windows Virtual Server?

Can Adobe Media Server be installed on a Windows Virtual Server?

Yes, Adobe Media Server can be installed on a windows virtual server.

Server 2012 Hyper-V locks up Virtual Server for no reason.

Server 2012 Hyper-V locks up virtual servers for no reason.
This is a production server. I began building this server in February. I installed the server in November. 2012 server R1 is full of bugs!
First who was the rocket scientist that decided that the TURN OFF function in Hyper-V means "Please turn off when the
F*#@$*% you feel like it"? Idiots!
I have a Supermicro server with perfect memory (for those who want to blame this on memory).
It is running 12 Virtual Servers. Every morning, at a random time, at least 1 of the servers lock up solid. Sometimes as many as 5 decide that for no reason they all want to lock up. The servers that lock up may be 1 or more: a database server, a terminal
server, an exchange server, a Windows 8.1 Ent VDI server, an IIS server, and or AD server. All 2012 R1.
They are running all current Microsoft and other vendor patches and hardware updates.
The only common denominator is the Hyper-V server.
I cannot shut them down using the Hyper-V manager. I cannot turn them off. I have a hundred users standing by while I nicely ask them to turn off. The VM will turn off after 20 minutes and a lot of gentle coaxing.
I cannot Kill the vmwp.exe process associated with the locked Virtual Machine.
No .DMP are created. No events in the event viewers. No reason at all. When they restart, there is no indication of a problem.
I ran two VMWP dumps and posted it here.
www.a1bcs.com/hyper-vlockup.zipx
Does anyone know why these are locking up?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Robert

I'm not positive of the cause but I was able to stop the problems.
It turned out that Network Load Balancing (NLB) between the two terminal servers and another between the two gateways was causing the lockups.
This is a normal configuration and it should work. Especially since Microsoft has seen fit to remove the DRAIN USERS function from RDP as well as the LOCK OUT till next reboot function. JUST FYI these functions are still available at a DOS prompt
by using the CHGLOGON command. But still the NLB also provides these functions.
Anyhow, once I removed the NLB I haven't had the lockups anymore.
That doesn't however change the fact that TURN OFF should mean TURN OFF not turn off please!
Thanks again,
Robert

Virtual server and client command

Hi,
I want to configure firewall load balancing as follows. I have 3 firewalls, FW1, FW2, FW3. I want to create a serverfarm for each FW, i.e. FW1 in SF1, FW2 in SF2, and FW3 in SF3. Then, we'd like to create two Virtual server VS1 and VS2. Each Virtual server has Server Farm SF2 as a backup server farm. I.e. SF1 is the active server farm for VS1, and SF2 is the backup server farm for VS1. We also have SF3 is the active server farm for VS2, and SF2 is the backup server farm for VS3. Note that all connections to VS1 and VS2 will come from the same VLAN (e.g. VLAN X). So the configuration of the virtual server I think should be as follows ;
vserver VS1
virtual 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 25
client 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
vserver VS2
virtual 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 25
client 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
So, the question I have is, will this work if we filter who can access the virtual server using the client commmand ? I.e. clients coming from 192.168.1.0 will be using VS1 and clients coming from 192.168.2.0 will be using VS2.
Thanks !

The 'client' command should work as you expect.
You'll need to add the 'serverfarm' command under each vserver. Ex:
serverfarm SF1
real 1.1.1.1
serverfarm SF2
real 2.2.2.2
serverfarm SF3
real 3.3.3.3
vserver VS1
virtual 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 tcp 25
serverfarm SF1 backup SF2
client 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
vserver VS2
virtual 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 tcp 25
serverfarm SF3 backup SF2
client 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
I am assuming that you will be using different IP addresses for each vserver. Is that correct?

Got an error when install oracle 9i in linux 9 in windows virtual server

Hi Guys,
I am installing an oracle 9i in my laptop that is linux 9 server which is hosted in windows virtual server. when I ran runInstaller, I got an eror that is can't connect x11 windows server using........ When I ran xterm, I got can't open dispaly. xhost + also dosn't work. Is that ok that I can install oracle in a linux that is installed in windows virtual server? What value can I set to DISPLAY value?
Thank in advance.

Linux 9? You mean the one that was end-of-lifed in 2004? (Just checking ...)
If yes, you gotta decide whether it's the 'Linux 9 Boxed Version' or the 'Linux 9 Download Version'. The two have completely different compiler and glibc packages that are incompatible. Fix that incompatibility - relative to Oracle's needs - and you will be able to make Oracle9i limp along.

Reconfigure DPM after migrating Sharepoint to another SQL Server

How can I Reconfigure DPM after migrating Sharepoint to another SQL Server?

Hi,
I have tried this.
When I removed the SharePoint datasource from Protection group there was no option to keep or lose data.
I ran ConfigureSharePoint -EnableSharePointProtection and ConfigureSharePoint -ResolveAllSQLAliases , then refreshed view in DPM console and added SharePoint back to protection group.
The modify protection group screen showed success. looking in Monitoring, I see Consistency check failed with this error "DPM cannot continue protection for SharePoint Farm Sharepoint Farm\sqpl2008srv1\SharePoint_Config on spwfe1.internal.ermanz.govt.nz.
(ID 30184)" this followed with Recovery point failing as well and description was same error (as above).
I then removed the datasource again and created a new Protection Group and added SharePoint, but got same result. When creating the PG, it did not format space or do initial copy and CC's and RP's failed as before.
When DB's were moved to another SQL Server, SharePoint retained the same SQL name as before (uses aliases)

Best way to migrate SharePoint 2003 data into SQL Server 2008

Hi Experts,
I am planning to migrate data from SharePoint 2003 into SQL Server 2008. After the migration SharePoint site will be deleted in couple of months and then that data will be feed into .Net Front end application
1) What is the best and easy way to do it?
2) Is there any way to automate the migration process? i.e. If a new record gets entered into SharePoint it should be populated into SQL Server 2008.
3) Any other suggestions
Thanks,
John

Dear John,
If it's just a few lists, and you just want to import them "as-is" then it should be possible to do so ... and survive to tell the about it ;-)
Generally speaking, You will need to write a small process (program or script) to read/parse each list and check if the item(s) are in the target table (I assuming that there is a distinct table as target
for each list, and that each list has 'something" you can use to distinct each row), if it's not there, the just add them according to your needs.
Then just rerun the process periodically and it would keep your databases up to date (you could even set ti up to update those records that have changes, but that would delay your process significantly)
What i just described is doable, and not TOO complicated, it could be done i a lot different ways, and with different alternatives of programming/scripting languages. for sure you can do it in any flavor
of .net language, and even powershell.
As I mentioned, this is speaking in general, the actual implementation would depend on your specific needs and the kind of data that you have/need to keep.
Best Regards / Saludos, Marianok

Best way of handle Log Shipping in Physical Movement of SQL Server

Hi All
We are moving SQL Server physically from one rack to another in data centre. Just power off and move the server and network link up and power on and bring to same state before power off.
One of Server 2005 have Log shipping active. What is best way to maintain Log Shipping during this physical movement. I do not want to remove log shipping and re-configure from scratch.
Need help for clean and safe method to carry this activity.
Thanks in Advance

Thanks for reply...
No... I am not asking RACK migration. Just SQL SERVER...Here are my steps that I am like to do...
1. Stop application(s) that connect to the databases on this Server
Correct
2. Note of account under which SQL Server running for the purpose of permission of this account on folder(s) for L Log Shipping
OK
2. Stop Jobs using via making script for disable and enable jobs
Here I have doubt on Log Shipping jobs disable and enable that
You can use job( tsql) but why not use GUI.Log into SQL Server expand SQL server agent RK on job and disable it.
a. I should stop LS jobs manually as you recommended but not while running em I right?
Yes see job activity monitor on both primary and secondary server.It will show status executing for jobs,look out for LS jobs.
b. Shall I stop disable jobs first on Secondary or Primary Server?
First disable on Primary and then on secondary.
I faced a issue where shutting down SQL agent on Secondary caused Sec database to go in suspect mode.So make sure while you shutdown agent no job is running.If restore log job is running let it complete and then disable the job
c. On which server I should enable LS jobs first?
Primary
3. Stop SQL Server Services.
Run sp_who2 or select * from sys.sysprocessess to see any active transaction.Then move accordingly.
AND take same steps in reverse manner when power on after physical migration of Box.
Pls advise
Hope this helps

another data Source which is configured in SQL server 2012. Can any one help me on this whether is there any problem on accessing the data from SQL 2012. If there is no problem for that, please provide me the version of SQL data source compatible with
SharePoint 2010 and SP 2010 sp1.

Migration of the database from Microsoft SQL 2014 Express to Microsoft SQL 2012 Server

I posted a similar thread yesterday, and I realized that there was a serious typo.
Link: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/b3e201ea-6c7c-43a4-8908-842b714ea451/migration-of-the-database-from-microsoft-sql-2014-express-to-microsoft-sql-2012-server?forum=sqlservermigration
Therefore, I made a decision to post another thread right now.
I am
writing to ask if there are any known issues when migration from MS SQL 2014 Express to MS SQL 2012 Server version. Are there any step-by-step instruction on how I can go about doing this?
Looking forward to your response. Thank you for your time.

Jeff Yoo

Hello,
SQL Server 2012 setup program won’t allow you to perform a downgrade from SQL Server 2014 Express Edition. Backup/Restore
and Detach/Attach won’t help you either.
One option you have left is using SQL Server Import/Export Wizard as explained on the following article.

Hope this helps.

Migrating SAP products from a non-SQL Server platform to a SQL Server 2005

Hi,
I have another question too.
Can someone pls provide me the Considerations for Migrating SAP products from a non-SQL Server platform to a SQL Server 2005 platform?
More specifically from Oracle to SQL 2005.
Regards
Abhi

Hello
You need to perform an OSDB migration.
This will involve exporting your SAP system into a DB neutral format and then reloading this into an SQL 2005 SAP system.
Please review http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration
I recommend you review the homo/heterogeneous system copy guide for your SAP release.
Thanks

SQL SERVER PHYSICAL MEMORY USAGE HIGH

HI Teams,
i am going threw one of my production high physical memory usage in SQL Server. It always
around 90%.When i reboot the server, it will initially good but end of the day it will around 95 to 98% physical memory usage.
please give the valid solutions..,
Regards,
DBA

This is an expected/normal behaviour in SQL Server box. Memory management is highly dynamic in SQL Server and will use the complete memory allocated to SQL Server. It is also important to set the MAX SERVER MEMORY for the SQL Server instance. You may not
need to worry about this unless you find any performance issues.
