Hi there,
We have a System Center 2012 R2 (UR9) HA VMM Management Server running from two nodes cluster. The VMM database is also hosted from a two nodes HA SQL cluster. The database connection is configured to connect to a SQL Availability group listener name via default port 1433 . Now, we need to migrate the VMM database to a new SQL cluster.
I am thinking to stop the VMM cluster role first from failover cluster manager, migrate database and use the same SQL viability group listener name, instance and database name and then start the role. VMM should treat this as a database connection lose and reconnect to the new listener IP by DNS name resolution. Unfortunately, we don’t have a like for like environment to test this.
Does anyone see any issues with my plan – migrating without reinstalling VMM?
The other option is to uninstall VMM with the retain data and then reinstall VMM pointing to the new listener, instance and DB. We want to avoid this if possible.
Thanks in advance,
Choy
