Restarting the DPM Server

If you need to restart the DPM server for any reason, check the Monitoring task area in DPM

Administrator Console for jobs currently running, and then follow these guidelines:

• If there are no jobs currently running or scheduled to run during the time required for the

restart, restart the DPM server.

• If a synchronization with consistency check job is running, restart the DPM server.

Synchronization with consistency check will resume at the next scheduled time or you can

retry the job manually.

• If a replica creation job is running, postpone the restart until the job is completed. If the restart

cannot be postponed, you must run synchronization with consistency check manually for the

replica after you restart the DPM server.

• If any synchronizations or express full backups are scheduled to run during the restart, either

postpone the restart until the recovery points are created or re-run the synchronizations and

create the recovery points manually after you restart the DPM server.

• If any jobs that use the tape library are running, postpone the restart until the jobs are

complete. If the restart cannot be postponed, the following job types will be canceled by the

restart and must be re-run after the restart:

• Back up to tape
• Copy to tape
• Recovery from tape
• Tape verification

• If you are erasing a tape, postpone the restart until the current job is complete. Cancel any

pending tape erase jobs, restart the computer, and then reschedule the canceled tape erase

jobs.

Moving the DPM Server to a New Domain

We recommend that you avoid changing the domain of the DPM server because doing so causes

all protection and recovery operations to fail.

If it essential that you change the domain membership of a DPM server, you must stop protection

of the protection group members assigned to that DPM server and then restart protection of those

data sources, either by adding them to protection groups on another DPM server or adding them

to new protection groups on the same DPM server after you change its domain.
