Here's an interesting one.
The machine that the configmgr is on has died. It was sad and we might have a funeral. The tricky part is trying to revive the ConfigMgr so that we can still manipulate the brokers.
The actual databases (CM and MRM) are on a Solaris machine. The question is whether I can just bring up a new Windows machine and create the configmgr, pointing at the existing databases. Will everything come up peachy or will it recreate the tables and erase everything I got?
A final note: This is production, so I am a bit jumpy. I am prepared to rebuild the brokers/configmgr if I need to, but I want to see if I have any shortcuts.
Anybody have any experience along those lines? 
Thanks in advance,
Todd

To be safe, the proper thing to do is back up the databases first.
Then try recreating the configmgr. If having done that, everything is missing from the databases, then you shut down the configmgr, and restore the database, and restart the configmgr.
Of course, to be really safe, you should
1) Have already backed up all your message sets and message flows to a version control system
2) have already backed up your config mgr and broker databases
3) delete your brokers and recreate them
4) recreate your configmgr from scratch, and register your new brokers.
5) reimport everything from version control
There's a chapter in the administration guide on recovery and restart. And there may be additional information in the Installation&Planning guide. |

You know that you are taking all of the fun out of this for me. 
I have everything ready to go from backups, etc. My backup plan is to recreate everything, but I wanted to play a little bit and see if I could push the frontiers. I've set my deadlines and here is what I am going to do:
Create a configmgr on another box. Start it and then shut it down. Restore the old CM and MRM databases. Restart the configmgr and see what happens. If all else fails, I will go ahead and rebuild everything, but that takes an hour and is not nearly as adventuresome.
Stay tuned, I'm going in..... |

Here is what I did:
1. Went to different WIN2K box.
2. Created a ConfigMgr that pointed to the old MRM/CM databases.
3. Create the channels from the CFG QMgr to the brokers on the various Solaris machines.
4. Started the config mgr.
5. Brought up a control center.
6. Spit fire and saved the matches....everything came up fine. I was able to deploy and undeploy flows to the Brokers with no worries.
Thanks. |
