Server Crashed
-
Water and computers don't mix well. Our main operations server that was running NetXMS 1.2.17x64 (Windows 2012R2) took several gallons of water from a leaky water heater on the floor above us. Lucky for us this was the only server damaged but it's totally down and not recoverable. Our main SQL Server (MSSQL 2008R2) was not damaged and continues to operate fine so we have the databases.
My question is what will be the easiest way to recover operations. We have new hardware that we are bringing back up and we can install the same version of NetXMS on it. Can we just point it to the old database or will we have to start over from scratch (please no - we got several hundred units with lots of history)?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello.
Everything is stored in the database – just install new NetXMS instance (same version or newer) and point it to existing database.
Do NOT initialise database using wizard, just click cancel it and then create configuration file by hand.Sample config (netxmsd.conf):
LogFile=C:\NetXMS\netxmsd.log DebugLevel=3 DBDriver=mssql.ddr DBServer=DB1 DBName=netxms DBLogin=netxms DBPassword=netxms -
