How to Migrate a DPM Server to New Hardware
To ensure data source protection and availability of recovery points across the process, you
should create a plan for the DPM server migration process, including considerations of the
following factors:
• The service level agreement (SLA) that you need to maintain for the period of the migration.
• The length of time that you can continue running the existing DPM server before retiring or
repurposing it.
• Maintenance windows for the protected computers.
To migrate a DPM server to new hardware,
1. Install DPM on a new server. For more information, see Installing DPM
(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91851).
2. Identify a protected computer to migrate and carry out the following steps:
a. On the existing DPM server, stop protection for all data, choosing to retain replicas
for this protected computer, and uninstall the protection agent.
b. Restart the target computer.
c. Install the protection agent from the new DPM server to the selected computer.
d. Restart the protected computer.
e. Repeat for all protected computers.
3. Create protection groups on the new DPM server for the protected computers. For more
information, see Configuring DPM (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91852).
4. Maintain the previous DPM server until the recovery points from inactive replicas on it are
no longer required.
