Can I rebuild an Windows MSDP server and retain MSDP storage unit?

[thesanman]

I have a Windows 2008 SP2 built server running one of my MSDP disk units.  If this Windows server has to be rebuilt (e.g. "upgrade" to Win2008 R2); can I do so and retain the MSDP unit and it's content?

The MSDP unit is contained on a separate drive hanging of a seperate disk controller and it's content is replicated to another MSDP unit on another Media server.  I woudl rebuild the server with a new version of the OS; re-install Netbackup but then how to configure pdde to point at the MSDP unit?

I guess the same question applies if an MSDP server ever dies and has to be rebuilt for whatever reason.

Thanks in advance

I believe support has a process for this, and I've heard of some of my peers testing a similar process on 5220 appliances where they've moved the external storage shelf from one appliance to another.  Unfortunately I don't have all the details on the process.

Thanks

If I go down this route I'll log a call to see what they can offer.
