Upgrading DPM2010 to DPM2012

Hi,
We currently have Server 2008 R2 sp1 installed on an HP server and a tape library attached to the server as well as a fiber channel SAN attached to the HP server.  We have DPM2010 installed on this server.
We have bought new server and want to install the latest Microsoft Server 2012 edition and the latest DPM 2012 edition.
My question is, If I attach the current SAN to the new server, will it overwrite the current data from the dpm 2010 installation? or is DPM smart enough to know to use the empty space.  If it is, then I can go to the old server, stop protection of each
server one at a time, and add them to be backed up on the new server.  Will dpm2012 be able to re-catalogue tapes that were done by dpm2010?  If so that would be the only thing left to do, is re-catalogue the tapes that have dpm2010 information so
I can do recoveries using dpm2012.
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
In regards to the SAN you will need to allocate new volumes that are un-used to the new DPM server.
In regards to the tapes DPM 2012 /R2 can read data from DPm 2010 tapes. You will need to simply Recatalog an imported tape then you will be able to View tape contents and restore data from it. For more info see:

  • No Previous versions available (DPM 2010/12)

    Hi All,
    My users do not see any previous versions. On server SERVER I have a share SHARE, and within share SHARE I have a folder named FOLDER. The share is protected by server DPM. They are part of the same domain.
    If I browse to the share \\ SERVER\SHARE directly and I get the properties of FOLDER, and hit the tab 'previous versions', I see the message "There are no previous versions available".
    If I browse to the share on the DPM server \\ DPM\server.domain.local_share and get the properties of FOLDER, and hit the tab 'previous versions', I see the previous versions based on the schedule I implemented.
    This happens on a DPM2010 and DPM2012 installation. I reran the EUR deployment a few times now, but to no result better than this.
    Anyone has an idea what might cause this?
    Best regards,
    Ronald

    Hi,
    I would ensure the below five items have been satisfied:
    1) EUR will not work if local shadow copies are enabled on the Protected Server in question.
    2) Schema needs to be extended and checkbox enabled on each DPM Server you want EUR enabled on.
    3) DPM Shares need to be created by DPM on the DPM server. [net shares]
    4) System account needs at least read and list permission on the root of volumes being protected for EUR to work.
    5) EUR cross domain / forest is not supported.
    Additional information EUR for file shares on the root of mountpoints :

  • DPM2012 upgrade to DPM2012R2, best route to take?

    Hello
    We are currently backing up our 8 node Hyper-V clusters with DPM 2012 SP1 with local SQL DB, running on ws2008r2 sp1.My goal now is to upgrade DPM to 2012R2 and preferebly also OS to ws2012r2, as well as using a remote SQL server. The remote SQL is already
    up and running with SQL 2012 SP1 running on ws2012R2.It holds the SCOM2012R2 and VMM2012R2 DBs already, and I want to migrate the current DPM DB over to that SQL server and hook it up with the current DPM disk on a new DPM2012R2/WS2012 server.
    What are the steps involved to accomplish that?
    1.Backup the DPM DB and restore it on the remote SQL server.
    2. Install ws2012r2/DPM2012R2 on the server.
    3.Hook up the DPM disk to the server
    4.Upgrade all Agents..
    Am I on the right track??
    Thx /Tony

  • DPM 2012 R2 upgrade fails to run dpmsync -restoredb.

    Hi,
    Im experiencing some problems when trying to restore dpmdb.bak
    Original setup was Win2012 Std. with DPM 2012 SP1 and latest RU, on a physical HP DL 360 Gen8
    SQL is a local instance 2008 R2
    Upgrade failed at the very end saying "failed to create dpm service", it was suggested that the probable cause
    was that the system was pending reboot wich it was not!
    I followed the error message and uninstalled DPM, rebooted and reinstalled DPM2012 R2, during install I had to point out an existing DPM instance/database wich I did, klicked the "check and install" and went on installing without any further problems.
    I also checked "retain data" during the install.
    When trying to restore the db using syntax "dpmsync -restoredb -dbloc c:\temp\dpmdb.bak -instancename msdpm2012 -dpmdbname dpmdb" I get the following error.
    "Error ID: 454
    DpmSync failed to connect to the specified SQL Server instance. Make sure that y
    ou have specified a valid SQL server instance associated with DPM and you are lo
    gged on as a user with administrator privileges.
    Detailed Error: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while esta
    blishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessi
    ble. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured
    to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could
    not open a connection to SQL Server)"
    I enabled Named Pipes and entered TCP/IP port 1433 in SQL configuration manager and ran the command again with the same result.
    When checking the databse using SQL Mgmt. Studio I found out that there was now two databases, the original MSDPM and
    a new db named MSDPM_Servername, confusion!
    Now, my SQL knowledge is poor to say the least so I'm hoping that someone has a solution or a tip to push me forward.
    Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Peter Åkerblom Stockholm.

    Additional information.
    We found out that the dpmsync -restoredb command failed with reason "access denied", it could not overwrite the original db.
    So we dropped the original db and moved it out of its default folder and ran the command again.
    The dpmdb did this time in fact get restored to default path but some errors.
    From event log:
    The description for Event ID 3750 from source MSDPM cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
    If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
    The following information was included with the event:
    Version 4.1.3313.0 of the DPM database, and version 4.2.1205.0 of the DPM application are not compatible.
    Problem Details:
    <DatabaseVersionMismatch><__System><ID>29</ID><Seq>0</Seq><TimeCreated>2014-10-21 07:45:57</TimeCreated><Source>d:\btvsts\21011\private\product\engine\service\dll\servicemodule.cpp</Source><Line>183</Line><HasError>True</HasError></__System><DatabaseVersion>4.1.3313.0</DatabaseVersion><BinariesVersion>4.2.1205.0</BinariesVersion></DatabaseVersionMismatch>"
    From what I understand a database version upgrade should be taken care of during dpmsync-restoredb but I must be miskaten.
    Any suggestions on how to upgrade the databse ?
    Peter.

  • Upgrading from 2007 to 2012 - Restoration of 2007 Storage

    We are in the process of revieiwing the upgrade process. Our main concern is the ability to use DPM 2012 to restore Backups that were created on DPM 2012.
    Is the restoration process supported by DPM2012.
    Thank you in advance for your answer.

    Hi,
    As long as you are upgrading along the way, then recovery points made on DPM 2007 will be available for restore on DPM 2012.
    The proper steps to upgrade from DPM 2007 to DPM 2012 are as follows:
    a) Patch SCDPM 2007 to newest patch level. (kb2250436)
    b) Save copy of DPM2007 SQL database (dpmbackup -db) - copy to network share.
    c) Un-install DPM 2007 - then Upgrade OS Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 - then to Windows 2008 R2.

    f) Upgrade SCDPM 2007 to DPM 2010 (Which automatcally included SQL upgrade)
    g) Patch SCDPM 2010 to newest update UR7 (kb2751231)
    h) Update the Agents to DPM 2010 agents

  • Importing DPM 2010 tapes to DPM2012 SP1 - Endless Recataloging?

    I've got a DPM2012 SP1 server that I'm using to replace my existing DPM2010 server.  I've got quite a lot of tapes that I need to import - they show up correctly as (Imported) <tapename> when I inventory them, but when I try to view content
    on the tape, I get an error saying I need to recatalog.  I perform the catalog, and the same error recurs.  I'm familiar with the general process, and have done it before in 2010, so I think there's something funky going on.  Any help appreciated!
    Environment:
    DPM2012 SP1 v4.1.3408.0
    Windows Server 2008R2 (fully patched) running on VMWare ESXi 5.0
    Dell TL2000 library with iSCSI bridge and LTO4 drives

    I also experienced the endless recataloging issue with DPM 2012 R2. The solution turned out to be to change the tape drive driver from the IBM driver that windows chooses by default to the generic circa 2006 Microsoft `LTO Tape Drive` driver.  The telltale
    was that, in addition to endless recataloging, DPM was also unable to erase the tapes.

  • IPod no longer works with car stereo since upgraded MBA & iTunes

    My iPod classic has worked just fine connected to my car stereo since i bought it last june. I just bought a new Macbook Air (OS 10.7.3) & installed ITUNES 10.6.1. After I synched my ipod for the first time its recognised by the car but i get a "can't read data" message. I re-formatted my ipod but its exactly the same. Do you think its the upgrade- or the cable? Has anyone else found a bug with this version of Itunes or the OS? I have my doubts a cable would make the difference, and my old ipod nano that i haven't synched for a while works fine.

    If standalone works fine, then, most likely the 30 pin connect may have some dirt or lint, prevent data transfer.
    You can try to blow it clean, if you have a can of compressed air or gas.
    Alternatively you can connect it to the car stereo and do the RESET, while connnected.as follows
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    The Reset sequence may send a signal to the Car stereo to do the right thing

  • Brand new IPOD Touch Apps no longer work after upgrading software

    I got a Ipod touch for my wife Today at Wal-Mart. I brought it home, connected to wifi and downloaded some apps and also payed for some. They all worked fine. Then I connected to computer to transfer songs. It told me to upgrade the Ipod software so i Did. After it restarted none of the downloaded apps work anymore. I have read MANY MANY MANY discussions on this and there is no fix. I am not wiping out all the songs and reload everything all over again. It will take forever. My wifes BD is Friday and this is making me so mad after I just dropped $300 on this thing. APPLE!!! Where is the fix? I deleted the apps and reinstalled they still don't work. Anybody got this figured out? I am getting ready to get my money back and tell everyone to avoid buying ipod until they get this upgrade bug fixed.
    Message was edited by: 2009 IPOD TOUCH

    I have the same problem. Brand new two days ago. I synched the touch with Itunes but wasn't hooked up to the internet at the time so didn't do the software upgrade right away. Then I downloaded about a dozen apps (free and paid) with wifi directly to the touch. They all worked fine. Then I plugged it back in to Itunes and had it upgrade it to 3.1.2. It locked up Itunes several times since then and the downloaded apps no longer work (they start to open then disappear).
    The problem is, no one is listening to this problem (including Anna above)! Everyone says "just do a hard reboot, or restore to factory settings, reload the apps, etc." I've tried all the standard troubleshooting but none of it fixes this. It sure seems to me this is a problem with 3.1.2 but Apple isn't helping out here. Where are you APPLE? Use some of those outrageous profits you're making to fix the problem you have created. Here's $300 of my hard earned dollars pretty much down the drain.

  • Ipod touch can no longer connect to XP following Apple upgrade, HELP !

    This is a nightmare. My son has an ipod touch (8gb)purchased a couple of months, and it's been fine until a couple of days ago. I downloaded some music for him, and just about to synch when Apple informed me on itunes of a software upgrade, so naturally I did this. However, it could not complete it saying there was a problem installing the hardware. The ipod then had a permanent picture of a usb cable pointing towards the itunes logo. Itunes no longer recognises this ipod or my own ipod as a device.
    I'm not a techhie expert, but I generally know my way around computers, however I could not resolve this.
    I called the Apple technical support desk, where I spent 1 hour 45 minutes with 2 different advisors who could not resolve this. We installed and re-installed various components from drivers to itunes to anti virus software, however nothing could change. There was simply no recognition of the ipod at all when connected.It does give a pop up message to restore the ipod, however you can't actually click on the restore button because to have to get rid of the pop up message first, then the screen with the restore facility disappears.
    Windows xp is continually popping up a message saying " FOUND NEW HARDWARE WIZARD There was a problem installing this hardware. Apple Mobile USB driver. An error occured during the installation of the device. The system cannot find the file specified."
    You then have to click on finish, however the message keeps coming back. We kept going round and round in circles with the technical support people, where it was left that I should start removing programmes on my computer to see if any of those are causing a problem. I have had the same spyware for the last 12 months now and never had a problem before, nor any other programmes.
    I booked a genius appointment at my local Apple store today where the assistant reset the ipod to factory settings so it could at least work. I explained the situation, however 15 minutes was never going to be long enough to look into it, and a restore was all they did. Obviously all of my programmes were lost, however when I got home and plugged it back into the computer again, it could not be recognised by itunes and i got the same pop up message. Luckily we have not spent alot on downloads, however my son has lost his music now and it cannot be connected or upgraded. It's under guarantee however a software upgrade by Apple has totally messed my computer up. I really don't know who to turn to now as both the service support and store has not rectified this, something I feel has been caused by Apple.
    Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

  • Just upgraded HDD, now how do I get my data back??

    I just upgraded my stock 60GB HD to a 120GB Seagate Momentus 5400 ($100). This is what I did:
    1. Before removing the 60GB HD, i created a read-only disk image of my HD(with Disk Utility on the OSX install CD). I put this disk image on my USB external hard drive.
    2. Physically replaced the 60GB with the 120GB.
    3. Now, I boot up the computer to the OSX install CD (since it is a blank new HD). I open up Disk Utility on the install CD, and try to restore the image i created (on my external USB HD) to my new 120GB internal drive. I am able to select the image to restore, but cannot select my internal drive as the destination.
    I have all sorts of music, movies, applications...etc. on my old HD that I want on my new drive.
    I want to have my computer be identical to before I upgraded, just with a larger HD. Is this possible?
    I have tons of external USB HD space to use if needed, and I also still have the old HD... if I need to create a different kind of disk image or something.
    Please help!
    Macbook 2.0GHz (White)   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I did this already. I failed to mention it in my first post. I have my HD "111.8 GB Seagate..." and underneath it: "Macintosh HD". Still can't restore an image to the "Macintosh HD" volume.

  • Lock-ups on MCS-7825 after after OS Upgrade to 2000.4.4aSR6

    About 3 weeks ago, I upgraded some MCS-7825 & MCS-7835 servers to 2000.4.4aSR6. Since then, one of the 7825's has been rebooting on its own almost twice a day. The other 7825 and 7835s are operating fine.
    Anybody else encountering a problem with this? I see in the release notes, some BIOS and firmware updates are included for the 7825, and am suspecting this is the problem.

    My problems actually turned out to be hardware, I think. I reviewed the logs and found out it had been happening for several months.
