Hi All,
I have read many posts here and have reviewed Codplex Rangers guide for TFS. I can't seem to find one that fits what I am trying to do. Okay, so this what I currently have:
PROD:
- AT01
- AT02
- Build01
- SSRS01
- SSAS01
- SQL01
- Sharepoint is hosted on a dedicated farm
PROD DATABASES:
- TFS_Configuration (SQL01)
- TFS_ProjectCollection1 (SQL01)
- TFS_ReportServer (SQL01)
- TFS_ReportServerTempDB (SQL01)
- TFS_Warehouse (SQL01)
- TFS_Analysis (SSAS01)
- TFSWeb_Content_DB (SP farm db server)
PRE-PROD:
- ATPP01
- ATPP02P
- BuildPP01P
- SSRSPP01P
- SSASPP01
- SQLPP01
- Sharepoint is hosted on a dedicated Pre-Prod farm
Currently, the Pre-Prod environment is up and configured to the PROD as much as I can. My primary goal is to to make the Pre-Prod very similar to Prod in order to:
- Reproduce/trouble issues
- Test Upgrade
Based on what I have done so far, here are my questions:
- Can I just restore all the databases to Pre-Prod with the exception of TFS_Configuration or do I need to include it?
- If we restore the TFS_Configuration and since the Pre-Prod servers are different from PROD, how do we update the restored configuration to use the Pre-Prod servers?
- Currently, my Pre-Prod is already configured. Should I revert it back to a un-configured state?
- What else and is there a better way?
Thanks in advance.
