https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/combining-sim-amp-rdp/m-p/4170905#M32369 Currently we have the following:<BR />- SIM Version 5.1 SP1 on ServerA. It has a SQL DB on a Separate Server, ServerSQL1.<BR />- RDP Version 6.8 (Build 282) SP1, on ServerB. It is using MSDE with a local SQL DB.<BR /><BR />We want to do the following:<BR />- Upgrade both SIM &amp; RDP to latest version.<BR />- Move the existing SQL DB on the RDP Server, ServerB, to ServerSQL1.<BR />- Move both SIM &amp; RDP to the same server. This will be either ServerB, the existing RDP Server, or to another server, but this will not be ServerA.<BR /><BR />I would like to know the following:<BR />- Is there any preference in the order in which this should be done?<BR />- What are the pitfalls I might encounter?<BR />- Has anyone done this successfully?<BR />- How can I ensure that the RDP SQL Data is useable after the move?<BR /><BR />If anyone has any thoughts, suggestions or experience with the above, I’d very much appreciate your input.<BR /><BR />Thanks,<BR />John<BR /> Mon, 31 Mar 2008 13:26:44 GMT John J DiMack 2008-03-31T13:26:44Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/combining-sim-amp-rdp/m-p/4170905#M32369 Currently we have the following:<BR />- SIM Version 5.1 SP1 on ServerA.
