PowerProtect Data Manager 19.15 Microsoft SQL Server User Guide

Enable the Microsoft application agent after reusing IP address from a different host

You can migrate to a different Microsoft application agent host that reuses the IP address from a host that is either a Microsoft SQL Server host or another type of host. For example, the new Microsoft application agent host reuses the IP address from an Oracle RMAN agent host.

1. Delete the Microsoft SQL Server or other host by deleting the asset source according to Delete an asset source. This procedure unregisters the host from PowerProtect Data Manager and removes the host assets after all the asset copies have expired.

   The assets and asset source of the original host are still in the "Deleted" state, unless the asset copies have expired and garbage collection has run.

   NOTE:If you unregister and reregister the Microsoft application agent instead of completing this deletion step, then duplicated asset names might appear in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI.
2. Reuse the IP address (static IP) from the previous host on the new Microsoft SQL Server host.
3. Run the Microsoft application agent installer and select the Change option to reregister the Microsoft SQL Server host with the same PowerProtect Data Manager server.
4. Ensure that the centralized and self-service backups are successful with the new host.
