How to Migrate Arcserve D2D r16.5 Backup Data of Two Servers Having Same Host Name to RPS Data Store

You have two servers with the same host name but different FQDN DNS name, and you use Arcserve D2D r16.5 to protect them. Now, if you want to migrate the data to Arcserve UDP RPS data store, follow these steps:

Stop Arcserve D2D service on Server 1.
Using the Arcserve UDP Jumpstart job, migrate data of Server 1 to the RPS data store.
Upgrade the Arcserve UDP Agent in Server 1.
Create a plan (or using an existing plan) to protect Server 1 and choose the same RPS data store as the backup destination.
Deploy the plan.
Stop Arcserve D2D service on Server 2.
Using the Arcserve UDP Jumpstart job, migrate data of Server 2 to RPS data store.
On the RPS server, navigate to the data store backup destination folder and locate the folder for Server 2 by searching the host name of Server 2.
For example, if the host name of Server 2 is “MyServer2”, then the folder name is “MyServer2”.
Upgrade the Arcserve UDP Agent in Server 2.
On Server 2, start the UDP Agent if it is not started.
Open the registry (on any specific server?) and find the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Arcserve\Unified Data Protection\Engine”
Note the value of “NodeID”.
The value is a unique ID in format of GUID, such as “e856e0ba-66d7-4da5-8b98-2250173e349a”.
On the RPS server, locate the backup destination folder of Server 2 and update the node ID as <folder_name>[NodeID value].
Example: MyServer2[e856e0ba-66d7-4da5-8b98-2250173e349a]
Create a plan (or use an existing) to protect Server 2 and choose the same RPS data store as the backup destination.
Deploy the plan.
