Also, is the new DB server's name in DNS? If you ping its hostname, does it reply?
-----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim O'Connor Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2008 2:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Pointing AR Server to DB Server I have a working AR server on one machine that is using an MS SQL backend on a different machine. Recently, I had one of our lab engineers clone these two machines into VMs so we can create dev and test instances on our ESX farm. I'm having a real hard time taking the AR system clones and pointing them to their respective database system clones. From reading documentation, it sounds like all I need to do is alter ar.cfg to point sybase-server-name (configuration parameter used for Sybase and MSSQL dbs) to the new hostname and restart the AR server, but when I do that arerror.log in the cloned AR systems is telling me they aren't able to talk to the cloned database systems. I've searched BMC documentation but I can't find anything that explains the process. Can anyone give me some hints or provide me with a basic checklist for performing such an operation? ________________________________________________________________________ _______ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
