Moving protection groups to a new server - How do I move tape data?

Hello, I am looking to install a new DPM server and decommission the existing DPM server. 
I did read the Technet documentation on
Moving the DPM Server to a different computer
However, it seems easier to load a new DPM server, point protection agents to it and then recreate Protection Groups. Once all of the recovery points on the original server have expired I can proceed in removing it. 
The only thing I'm stuck on is how to move all of the Tape data to the new server. And once I do that, how do I associate the recovery points on tape with the newly created Protection Groups?

Hi,
The DPM tapes written to on the old DPM server can be moved to the new DPM server and imported, however, the data on them cannot be restored until you re-catalog the tapes, then the recovery points will show up under the recovery tape under EXTERNAL DPM
TAPES.  
However - These recovery points can only be restored as flat files using the "recover to an alternate location" option.  The browse will only see protected servers on the new DPM server.  So basically, if you don't use the same DPM Server
name and restore the DPMDB, you will not get the option to recovery any data back to original location including application data.  This will mean after a flat file restore, you will need to manually move or copy the files back to the applications folder
and replace the existing files for the application to be able to use them.

    I moved LR5 catalog (Irdata & Ircat) to a new hard drive and photos. Lost all meta data - How do I move meta data along with catalog?
    The meta data for each image is missing.
    I have over 2,000 images. I don't want to go back through each image and add meta data.
    Is there some way to move everything?

    No, do not re-import your images. I assume you can see the thumbnails in the library module, just cannot access the full images, right? If this is the case there should be an exclamation mark in the top right corner of every one of your pictures and you only have to tell LR where the images are now.
    Click the exclamation mark of one of the images and a dialog window should pop-up, telling you that LR cannot find the file, but with an option to locate it. Press "Locate" and navigate to the folder on your new HD where the file is. If in the new external HD you kept the same folder structure that you had on the internal disk, LR will be able to find all your images and re-link them to the database without further intervention.

  • How we can move BPC data to PCM?

    Hi Experts,
    I saw an article
    Integrating PCM 7.5 with BW
    for moving data from BW to PCM.
    But it seems to discuss only one way of data transferring which is PCM to BW since it introduce DataBridge in PCM.
    I have a question regarding the way of data transferring.
    How we can move BPC data to PCM? BPC is on BW, I think DTP(Data Transfer Package) in BW can make it happen, but needs your opinion.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    YH Seo

    If you use BPC and PCM 7.5 or later, you can use the Financial Information Management (FIM) application to connect the EPM solutions.  Some colleagues and myself have shared a How-to-Guide on this topic.  The link is [here|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/50eb313b-aaed-2d10-3894-f3a5349e7ad7].

  • How do i move a data file from my pc to my ipad

    How do I move a data file from my computer to my ipad? It is my product catalogue and it would help if it were on my ipad.

    Plug the iPad into iTunes and you can use file sharing to move it into an app that supports file sharing and that document format.
    see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094
    Or, use an online storage service (iCloud, dropbox, box, google drive, sugarsync, etc) and upload the file to that.  Then on the iPad, from within the app you plan to use the file with, link to that service and download the file.
    The app will again have to work with that file type, and support the particular service you used.

  • Move Protection Group from One DPM server to another DPM server

    Hi Mike,
    Can we move Protection Group from one DPM 2012 SP1 to another DPM 2012 R2 version? If yes then what is the steps to perform that. Also i am running DPM servers with co-located and non-colocated configuration. What would be best as per best practice? Because
    my 95% backup are SQL backups.

    Hi,
    There are no provisions in DPM to move protection groups or protected data sources to a new DPM server and maintain the recovery points.  The best you can do is to stop protection on DPM1 and retain the replica, then run the setdpmserver.exe on the
    protected server and point it the DPM2 server. On DPM2, run the attach-productionserver.ps1 script to establish agent communications, then make new protection groups and re-protect the same data sources.  After the retention goals are met, delete
    the replica from under inactive protection group on DPM1.

  • Moving Protection Groups (With replica/recovery volumes) to Another DPM.

    I am checking and find there's a way to create manual replica and copy paste old replica data on new dpm server and then Sync it. Is there any way to copy recovery point volume as well to another DPM server?
    I have stand up second DPM server and want to move some protection groups from DPM1 to DPM2 as DPM1 is overloaded. What I want to move some protection groups (Along with replica and recovery point volume) to DPM2 so that I can restore 30 days recovery points
    as well from DPM2.
    Please advice me, is it possible or not.

    Hi,
    That is not possible.  Recovery points are VSS snapshots of the replica volume, and cannot be copied.  You can stop protection on DPM1 and retain the replica for recoveries.  On DPM2 - re-protect the data from scratch.

  • New Server: How do we aim ALL users email accounts to use the new addresses

    We have a new server which we are using for mail (incl. smtp), we need to be able to make it so when a user logs in and loads mail (just like they would have done before) it finds their new email account as seamlessly as possible.
    In a windows environment (*i know i heard the groan before i said it but thats the system i know*) i know exchange would force all of the new settings through to each user remotely. Does apple have a solution like this or are we really going to have to login as each user and setup their accounts for them. This would take literally weeks.
    I'm pretty sure there is a way to do this, but i couldn't find any previous posts about it.... hope this is in the right place edit:now and i will be extremely grateful to anyone who can help me with this issue.
    Other Info: Mac OSX server environment with approx 260 Macs on Tiger, Mail version 2.1 and over 900 users. 100 of whom have been transferred manually by setting the accounts up and entering settings in each of the users mail applications. each user is using roaming profiles so when it's done once it's done over the entire network.

    Thanks for the feedback am trying to work on a script now but can't get enough info about applescript, There is a setting in workgroup manager which says email when it is activated and we type in the users email address it should be feeding through from the next logon. This isnt the case for some reason.
    All mail is backed up and ready to reinstate if necessary, our other problem with documentation or any kind of user input is that we are a primary school with an entirely MAC network with only two technical support and i was based from a windows background...... *** to be us at the moment. lol
    If this was exchange we'd just link to Active directory and be done with it.......
    Thank you for your responses i can't seem to say anyone was helpful at the moment site error.... any more ideas will be gladly accepted. (goes off hunting for more applescript documentation)
    (does anyone know how to make applescript echo the username back to itself and then set it as a variable? then i need to combine it so something like this....
    set theEmailAddress to {echoedresponse, "@thisemailaddress.com"}
    that at least would let me set the script to work with only a little input from the user....... i hope infants can type two letters correctly if they are starred out.

  • Moving oracle database to a new server with an upgraded oracle software

    Hi Guys,
    Here is the scenario, we have an existing Oracle 9.2 demo database on a Solaris 5.9 server. I was asked to transfer this to another server with same OS but with an Oracle 10g software installed. The original plan was to mount the exisiting Oracle home from the original server to the new server and from there copy all the database files and bring up the database.
    Here are the steps:
    - Issue an "alter database backup controlfile to trace", get the script from the trace file
    - Copy all database files to the new server
    - Edit parameter files
    - Do a startup mount recreate the control files, do a recover database, and startup the database on the new server.
    I suggested that we to a transport tablespace but due to limited resources and that the 9.2 database does not have this feature we can't perform this process. I also can't do a exp/imp of the database since we really have limited resources on a disk. I was wondering if the steps I enumerated above are correct? Or would result in an error?

    Hi,
    why you want to recreate the controlfile, does the mount point locations are changing from old server to new server?
    if you recreating controlfile new incarnation starts, keep in mind.
    you have the downtime to upgrade.. :)
    shutdown
    take cold backup and move to new server.
    create the directory structure as exist in PFILE including CRD files.
    install software
    startup upgrade
    upgrade database(need to add sysaux TBS)
    shut immediate
    startup
    *@?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql*
    change hostname in listner.ora/tnsnames.ora files.
    Thanks

  • Moving DP Content to a New Server With Same Name

    We are currently in the middle of a server OS refresh from 2k8 to 2k12 R2. Some of the servers are DPs so I need to move the content from one server to another. The big problem is that the new server must have the same name.
    I've read this thread http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1ffcaa47-9bf8-476d-965e-28350a6bef1b/move-content-from-old-dp-to-new-dp-at-same-remote-site?forum=configmanagerapps which kind of covers my issue but I presume this person was going to
    a server with a new name.
    Has anyone done this? Is it possible?
    Unless there is something clever the only way I see to do this is to uninstall the DP role from the current server, remove the current server from the domain, add the new server with the same name, re-install the DP role and then re-distribute all the content
    to the new server. I'd rather not do this as the DP is on a remote site so all the content will be going over the WAN.
    I am running SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    >>So can I pre-stage from the old server to the new server or does the pre-staging have to be done from the site server?
    Yes, you could prestage content from the old server to the new server. Prestaged content files could be created from Configuration Manager Administrator Console.
    >>What is the order of the process?
    The following blog could help you to prestage content.

    Backup with this User Tip, restore the library to the new computer using the same tool, keep the backup up-to-date in future. Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer need to access protected content on it.
    As to your issues with compilations albums select all the tracks, set the Album Artist to Various Artists and on the options tab set Part of a compilation to Yes. See Grouping tracks into albums for details.

  • How Do I Move My Data From Old MacBook to New MacBook Pro?

    Hey everyone
    So I just bought a new Macbook Pro 15" to replace my old black Macbook. My old Mac runs Tiger and is an Intel Core 2 Duo. I was wondering, how do I move my files over to the new Macbook? Do I use a FireWire? If so, does the data from my old Macbook get deleted or is it still on the old computer?
    I've never done something like this before so if anybody can help me on the file transfer methods, that would be great! Basically I'm hoping that all my music, photos, my iPhone data, etc.. all get successfully put on my new Macbook!
    Thanks!

    Hi and congrats on your new Mac.
    Use the Migration Assistant (Applications/Utilities)
    If both computers are using Mac OS X, you can connect the two computers with a FireWire cable and use Migration Assistant, located in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder. Migration Assistant transfers your files and important settings to your new computer.
    Just launch the Migration Assistant application and follow the instructions.

  • HT1414 i backed up tha data on my iphone before i unlocked and restored as "new." how can i get the data back onto my iphone?i backed up tha data on my iphone before i unlocked and restored as "new." how can i get the data back onto my iphone?

    Hi,
    I wanted to unlock my at&t iphone 3gs that i had for 3  years.  i was told to back up the data on my phone and then restore it as new.  now i don't have any data i had before it was restored. how can i get that data back onto my iphone 3gs?  can i put that data on my ipad?

    Is it an iTunes backup or an iCloud backup? If iTunes, connect the iPhone, right click on the name of the iPhone under the DEVICES section in iTunes. Click on Restore from Backup.
    If iCloud, on the iPhone go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. When the device powers back on, you will see the original setup screens you saw when your iPhone was fresh out of the box. One of these screen asks you if you want to restore. Choose Restore from iCloud backup.
