Dynamics AX 2012 with Retail - migrate to a new database server

We are moving from a virtual SQL server to a physical SQL server for our Dynamics AX 2012 production environment.  I'm wondering what the list of pitfalls in this process are.  Our current planned process is as follows:

Cutover process:

  1. Halt all batch jobs (so they dont automatically kick off when we come back up)
  1. Shutdown both AOS instances 
  1. Backup virtualSQLServer.DynamicsAX_PRD database
  1. Restore backup to physicalSQLServer.DynamicsAX_PRD
  1. Configure both AOSs to point to the new server and database (physicalSQLServer.DynamicsAX_PRD)
  1. Startup both AOSs
  1. Update Analysis server
  1. Point to new instance on physical server
  2. Test
  1. Update BI Report Server
  1. Point to new instance on physical server
  2. Test
  1. Check database information (system administration --> Inquiries --> Database --> Database information) and confirm changes
  2. Build CIL
  3. Deploy Reports
  4. Test Retail connections (AOS, RSC, RTS, Databases, Distribution scheduler)
  5. Re-start all batch jobs
  6. Refresh OLAP database
  7. Smoke test

Has anyone done this process before?  I would love to learn from someone else's mistakes rather than my own.

Kind Regards,

Robert Allen
