Server Name Change without uninstalling Orion NPM

serdar

Hi All,

We have Orion NPM SL2000 and installed on Windows 2003 Server. SQL Database is installed on different server.

We tried to change the server name running Orion software and then Orion stopped running.

Is there any way to change the server name without uninstalling Orion NPM SL2000 and without running the new licensing program for server migration ???

Thank you,

Serdar

3. Stop all SolarWinds services, and then click

File > Exit.

Notes: If you have more than one Polling Engine, you will need to stop each additional Polling Engine before continuing. Do not stop the SQL Service. The SQL Service needs to be running in order to make the necessary changes to the database. 4.   Click Start > SolarWinds Orion > Database Utilities > Database Manager. 5.   Expand your SQL Server in the tree, and then expand the database. By default, this database is named NetPerfMon. 6.   Right-click on the Engines table, and then click Query Table. 7.   Click Refresh to display the table entries. 8.   Select Read-Write (Results can be edited). 9. Replace the value in the ServerName field for the old polling engine with the server name of the new polling engine. In the previous graphic, the OLD-SERVER is renamed NEW-SERVER.      Note:  It is not necessary to update the IP field. The next time the service is started, Orion NPM discovers the new IP address, and the IP field is updated automatically. 10.  Delete the newly added engine from the table (EngineID: 2 in this example) by clicking on the blank area to the left of the row to select it. Right-click anywhere in the selected row, and then click Delete Selected Rows11. Click Yes when prompted to confirm deleting the row, and then close Database Manager. Note: The final result will display the new server name with the IP address of the old server. The next time the service starts, the IP field will be updated with the IP address of the new server.
