Moving the DPM 2012 SQL Database to another SQL Server

I have 2 DPM Servers running and I would like to move those SQL Dbs onto another SQL Server. I know during the install you can select whether or not you want to install SQL or use another instance, but I dont want to re-install the whole thing and start
over. Is there any easy way to do this?

Hi,
in my opinion, you can stop with this Walkthrough after step 6, dont think that you Need to do a sync or consistency check.

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)

Hi,
select * into A1 from RDOC where Author !='System'
select * into A2 from RITM where Doccode in (select Doccode from A1 )
select * from A1
select * from A2
sp_generate_inserts 'A1'
sp_generate_inserts 'A2'
you will get Insert scripts of A1 and A2 tables .After that You 'll Replace A1 to RDOC and A2 to RITM.
So that you can RUN this SQL srcipts any where (In any Database)
but First u have to run sp_generate_inserts Storeprocedure(from websites) .
drop table A1,A2

Moving the ZENworks Mobile Management Database

So, as a test, I wanted to check if I could move the DB from one
(internal SQL Express) server to another regular SQL 2008R2 Server. The
DB was before on the same server as the Web/HTTP feature was installed.
Now I moved the DB and I can't login as the administrators I've
specified. The only thing I see in the log is this:
Error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionWrite
(send()).
[00:35:17] SQLError:
ExecuteSQL returned status: -1
State: 08S01
Native: 0
Error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Communication link failure
[00:39:11] SQLError:

ExecuteSQL returned status: -1
State: 01000
Native: 10054
Error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionWrite

Anyone who did this with success?

Okay... I must have misread the docs, I thought this was only required

DPM 2012 R2 - Database Error 943 in Restore Pane

Hi all,
this morning we came upon a problem with our DPM server. It is on version 4.2.1273.0 (UR4), running on 2012 Server German with the latest patches.
When opening the restore pane, we get an error window mentioning a database inconsistency (ID: 943). The dpm client closes then. All other dpm functions seem to work correctly. What we have tried already:
DBCC checkdb yields no errors. The sql database is online, also all backup operations of dpm run normally.
A dpmsync -sync does not change the problem.
Trying a restore via powershell, the powershell window closes as soon as a Get-DPMRecoverypoint is issued. So the problem seems not only dpm interface-related.
The last backup of the database is from 10/29 when the UR4 was installed (shame on us!). Restoring this DB renders the DPM service inoperable (missing sql stored procedure). So we went back to a backup of today that shows the error described above.
We have not tried a restore after UR4 was installed, but definitely within a month before, where everything worked fine.
Any ideas? Does it make sense to uninstall UR4? Any advanced troubleshooting to find the 'inconsistency' in the DB?
Thanks for your help,
Best,
Markus

Unfortunately I am not able to find any related entries. I checked eventlog, SQLserver logs and the DPM logs under DPM\Temp. I have added the Traceloglevel entry to the registry and set it to 0x400. Again no entries with current timestamp in the dpm log.
A verbose log setting fills a 15MB log file in about 5 seconds...
The tape backup did not run over the weekend. I get a number of failed SQL Jobs in the event log:
SQL Server Scheduled Job 'b176171f-43f8-41c0-aa05-8c7208080c19' (0x2E83A67F375A1E4098FE306980DC2328) - Status: Failed - Invoked on: 2014-11-17 12:30:00 - Message: The job failed. The Job was invoked by Schedule 27148 (Schedule 1). The last step
to run was step 1 (Default JobStep).
I am tempted to do a complete reinstall of the DPM server and OS; my problem is that I lose all current backups doing so. Running out of ideas.
Best,
Markus

not the DB.

Transferring 3 SQL databases from both SQL Express 2005 and Standard to a new physical server

I am trying to figure out the best method for transferring SQL 2005 databases from 2 different physical servers to a new server running windows server 2008 64bit.
I own a fully registered copy of Microsoft SQL 2005 32bit Standard Edition. However all of my SQL databases together are only 4GB in size thereby making 2008 SQL Express an option.
Here is the breakdown of the servers:
1) (Old Server1) Windows 2003 Server 32bit - SQL Express 2005 32bit
2) (Old Server2) Windows 2003 Server 32bit - SQL Server 2005 32bit Standard
3) (New Server) Windows 2008 Server 64bit - (Not sure which version to install)
**The objective is to migrate 2 SQL databases from Old Server1 and 1 SQL database from Old Server 2 to the New Server. What version should I install on the new server??? Do I go with 2008 express or install the 2005 Standard Edition?
Pending your response to which version to install, what are the correct steps to migrate (which I have never done before) the databases from both of these servers to the new server?
I have researched this online and I think this particular situation is unique in that I am transferring from both SQL Express and Standard from 2 different physical servers to a 2008 server that is 64bit. I cannot find anything online that I feel confident
in trying. Please help me, as I have this migration deadline of this weekend. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,
You may choose between using backup/restore or using detach/attach methods to migrate the databases.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187858(v=sql.90).aspx
You can transfer logins using the following article.
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/918992
To decide if you migrate to Express Edition or to another edition, please review the features supported by each edition. For instance, Express Edition does not support jobs (SQL Server Agent is not available).
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993(v=sql.100).aspx
Hope this helps.

DPM 2012 R2: over W2008 o W2012 server?

Hi, I have a simply question:
With DPM 2012 R2, is recommended to migrate to windows 2012? Out actual plataform is W2008 R2 updated but we dont know if a W2012 plataform can bring improvements with performance or similars...
Regards & thanks.

Hi,
There is no real need migrate to Windows server 2012 unless you need DPM to protect data sources like Windows server 2012 Dedup volumes that would require DPM to be running on a Windows 2012 server in order to protect it.

Error when moving a mailbox from one database to another using the EMS

Error "The database is excluded from provisioning.Please Select a different target database for the move"
Above is the Error i get when moving a mailbox to another database on the same Exchange mailbox Server 2013 using the EMS

Hi MikeVATX,
Using the EMS I ran the Command
below,
Get-MailboxDatabase DBName | select name,*provision*
The result displayed that the Parameter IsExcludedFromProvisioning was set to True which i had to set to false by running the command below as per your guide.
Get-MailboxDatabase -Identity DBName | Set-MailboxDatabase -IsExcludedFromProvisioning
$ False
Then i was able to move the mailboxes.
It now works fine.Thanks for that solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Ronald
