Hi,
Following these posts, recently I tired to move all sharepoint 2010 databases to another server.
http://www.stuartroberts.net/index.php/2011/09/02/move-sharepoint-database/
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512725.aspx
But, when the step-by-step procedure were done, the following error is appeared: "Could not connect to the configuration database".
I successfully attach all databases in new DB server, and I use the following parameters for creating the Alias in sharepoint server:
Alias Name: MSSQLSERVER (name of both previous and current database instance)
Port: (blank), using netstat command I see that the TCP/IP port of SQL instance is 1433.
Protocol: TCP/IP
Server: win2008-SQLR2 (server name of new DB server)
I can successfully ping the new DB server from the Sharepoint server (Application Server).
I am so confused and I do not know how can I debug this issue.
--Regards
Mhhe

Hi,
Config database movement is not supported by Microsoft.
The best workaround is to create SQL alias as same as at new SQl server and then after try for the migration.
I had done these type of migration, Let me know if you have any issues. I will provide you the document.
Many Thanks

Hi,
Config database movement is not supported by Microsoft.
I'd say that's not correct since config database movement is mentioned as a supported option in the technet article mhhe has linked to. The same article describes a procedure with lots of complex steps, so I'd recommend to retry it and make sure the steps are completed in a thorough manner
Kind Regards Bjoern

Thanks for your response.
I thinks the main problem is regarded to the created alias.
When I traverse the sharepoint log the connection string is pointed to the old database server.
How can I check that the alias really works?
Thanks

Hi everybody,
The problem resolved.
The main issue was about the alias, where I should enter the IP address of original server instead on its name!!
