Hey all, due to some server infrastructure changes, our SCVMM 2012 SP1 management server and database must move to other physical servers. There's a lot documented on how to move the VMM database to another SQL server, so I'm comfortable with that. I'm looking for some assistance with the proper steps of moving the VMM management server software to another physical server with a different hostname. Let's say I already have moved the VMM database to another SQL server and everything is working fine. Now for the VMM server software move. I 'll throw this in. When i originally installed VMM2012SP1, I installed it and used the Distributed Key Management option so it's key(s) are stored in AD. In order to move the VMM server software to another server, I would do the following:
1. Shutdown and disable the VMM management server services on the existing physical server. (In case a roll back is necessary)
2. Install VMM2012SP1 and point it at the VMM database.
Can i expect this to work or are there other steps that I'm going to have to take? Does the fact that the VMM server hostname changed cause any problems? Do i install VMM pointing it at the same Distributed Key Management folder in Active Directory? What else am i going to have to take into consideration? Any feedback greatly appreciated. Thanks all.
