Installing New Management Server on New Server (Step 2)
Installing a management server (see "Install Management Server" on page 13) is divided into three steps. During step
2 of the installation on your new management server, make sure you select
Create a new database
for the system
configuration database, even though you have a backup of the database from your old management server.
Next (see "Copying/Restoring System Configuration to New Server (Step 3)" on page 189), we must overwrite the
new and empty database by restoring the backup we just created. Since we are going to overwrite the new and empty
database, it is important that it has the same name as the backed-up database (if your backed-up database has the
default name Surveillance, just use the default name
Surveillance
when creating the new database too).
The password for the database is not significant in this backup/restore context, but we recommend that you just use
the default setting
Allow server to control password
.
Copying/Restoring System Configuration to New Server (Step 3)
Prerequisite:
To prevent configuration changes being made while you restore the system configuration database,
stop the:
Management Server Service (see "Management Server Service and Recording Server Service" on page 198)
World Wide Web Publishing Service, also known as the Internet Information Service (IIS). Learn how to stop the IIS
at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732317(WS.10).aspx (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/cc732317(WS.10).aspx - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732317(WS.10).aspx).
This should all be done to the
new
management server.
Since second part of a copy is in reality identical to a restore, see Restoring RC-E System Configuration (From
Scheduled Back Up) (see "Restoring System Configuration (From Manual Back Up)" on page 186), steps 1-2 and rest
of the topic for details.
