Switching Protection If the Primary DPM Server Fails
If the primary DPM server fails, the secondary DPM server can continue protection of protected
computers. To continue protection, you must switch protection of the protected computers to the
secondary DPM server. You must also switch protection of the protected computers to the
secondary DPM server to recover data directly from the secondary DPM server to the protected
computer.
Important
To recover Windows SharePoint Services data directly from the secondary DPM server
to the protected computer when Windows SharePoint Services uses an instance of SQL
Server on another computer, you must switch protection for both the Windows
SharePoint Services server and the SQL Server-based computer to the secondary DPM
server.
To switch protection to the secondary DPM server
• On the secondary DPM server, in DPM Management Shell, run the Start-
ProductionServerSwitchProtection cmdlet.
-or-
• On the secondary DPM server, at a command prompt, run the SwitchProtection.ps1
script, using the following syntax:
SwitchProtection.ps1 dpmservername Name psname Name protectiontype Type
username User password Password domain Domain
SwitchProtection.ps1 Parameters
