database migration

  • sup peeps,

    We are currently exiting our current domain and moving to a new one (domainA to domainB).  The SQL server will need to be rebuilt from scratch.  We are getting rid of some hardwares and will be utlizing ESX.  I got some information from Microsoft already but I was wondering if anyone has done this before and what software they utlizied to make this migration as painless as possible.

    thanks.

  • it is fairly simple -

    old server:

    export logins or copy via dts

    backup dbs (use a script) or detach and move files

    script jobs

    script replication

    note linked servers (not aware of a script tool)

    new server:

    import logins

    restore dbs (use a scirpt) or attach (may have to fix user logins)

    run job script

    run replication script

    add linked servers

    move dts packages from old server to new

    create maint. plans

    that should cover the major tasks...


    Cheers,

    Todd

  • What is "ESX" ???

  • Todd, Thanks.

    That's the game plan I have as well, I was hoping there would be some SQL migration tool like they have for Windows .

    ESX is a product by VMWare.
