Move databases from old SQL Server to new SQL server using Central Admin Backup/Restore
QUESTION:
===========
Move SharePoint databases to a different SQL server
RESOLUTION:
============
1. Using the SharePoint Central Admin, make a full backup the whole farm. Central Administration > Operations > Perform a Backup Select FARM > Click “Continue to Backup Options” Create a backup
2. Start the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard and disconnect the web server from the farm Launch SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard and in “Modify Server Farm Settings” select the option “Disconnect from this server farm” > Click Next
Once the server is disconnected from the Farm reboot the server
Check if there are any SharePoint web sites and application pool in IIS Manager
If yes delete them
3. Using the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard define a new farm in the SQL server, that creates a new configuration database
a. Launch SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard
b. On the Welcome to SharePoint Products and Technologies page, click next.
c. Click yes in the dialog box that notifies you that some services might need to be restarted during configuration.
d. On the Connect to a server farm page, click No, I want to create a new server farm, and then click Next.
e. In the Specify Configuration Database Settings dialog box, in the Database server box, type the name of the computer that is running SQL Server (new SQL Server name).
f. Type a name for your configuration database in the Database name box, or use the default database name. The default name is “SharePoint_Config"
g. In the User name box, type the user name of the Server farm account. (Be sure to type the user name in the format DOMAIN\username.)
Important:
The server farm account is used to access your configuration database. It also
acts as the application pool identity for the SharePoint Central Administration
application pool, and it is the account under which the Windows SharePoint
Services Timer service runs. The SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration
Wizard adds this account to the SQL Server Logins, the SQL Server Database Creator
server role, and the SQL Server Security Administrators server role. The user
account that you specify as the service account must be a domain user account, but
it does not need to be a member of any specific security group on your Web servers
or your back-end database servers. We recommend that you follow the principle of
least privilege and specify a user account that is not a member of the
Administrators group on your Web servers or your back-end servers.
h. In the Password box, type the user's password, and then click Next.
i. On the Configure SharePoint Central Administration Web Application page, select
the Specify port number check box and type a port number if you want the SharePoint
Central Administration Web application to use a specific port, or leave the
Specify port number check box cleared if you do not care which port number the
SharePoint Central Administration Web application uses.
j. In the Configure SharePoint Central Administration Web Application dialog box
keep default settings
k. On the Completing the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard
page, click Next.
