I have backed up an ima datastore and restored it to a different sql server with the same name, I used the following procedure:
1. backup IMA_Datastore from old server
2. copy to new server
3. create blank IMA_datastore
4. create SQL security “Citrix” user, ensuring same password as old server
5. restore IMA_Datastore from old server
NOTE: do not use the “Force restore over existing db”
I imagine all you would need to do for the server to have a different name would be to change it in the data sources on each citrix box.
Perhaps some others guys would like to mark this before you do it? i just have a bit more confidence in something that isnt 6 lines of one instruction!
