Rebuilding a DPM server
If you determine rebuilding the DPM server is required, do the following:
1 Remove the backup host from VMM.
a In the VMM console, open the VMs and Services workspace.
b Under the
All Hosts host group, remove the backup host on which the DPM VM resides.
2 Remove the corrupted DPM server from Operations Manager.
a Open the Operations Console.
b In the Administration workspace, expand Device Management > Agent Managed.
c Delete the agent on the corrupted DPM server.
3 On the Console VM, open Hyper-V Manager and connect to the backup host.
4 Delete the corrupted DPM VM.
5 Log on to the Console VM by using a local administrator account.
6 Update the manifest .XML le f
or redeployment.
a Update the backup host con
guration. Search for the backup host name in the .xml le, locate the name of the backup host (for
example, S20B01) in the <BackupConfiguration> section of the le, and change the DeploymentStatus to
"DomainJoined"
.
For example:
<BackupConfiguration>
<Nodes>
<Node Name="S20B01" DeploymentStatus="DomainJoined" ConfigurationID="828bc360-fd65-4304-
bc50-81ea4027ad7f" Password="" SerialNumber="22PGD42">
b Update the DPM node con
guration. Search for <BackupVMs> in the le. For each DPM server, update
DeploymentStatus
to "DomainJoined".
For example:
<BackupVMs>
<Role Type="DPM" DeploymentStatus="DomainJoined" Name="S20DPM01
" BackupHostName="S20B01"
ConfigurationID="02651dd9-3028-45a8-9188-9997aa816418" Password="">
<IPv4Addresses>
<IPv4Address NetworkId="Management">10.10.20.32</IPv4Address>
</IPv4Addresses>
<BackupVhd NumberOfVHDs="20" VhdSize="1024" />
</Role>
<Role Type="DPM" DeploymentStatus="DomainJoined" Name="S20DPM02
" BackupHostName="S20B01"
ConfigurationID="b7a1b6bd-23ff-4f4b-b68e-20ac5e19d005" Password="">
7 Set the password eld in the .xml le f
or the backup host.
a In a Windows PowerShell session, run the following script to set the $password variable to the password you want to set.
$password = "
YourPassword
"
ConvertTo-SecureString $password -AsPlainText -Force | ConvertFrom-SecureString
b Copy the output of this script.
c In the .XML le
, search for the backup host name, and paste the output from the previous step between the quotes in the
Password="" eld.
