Dear community,

We are planning to move the DATABASES of Enterprise Vault to another SQL server.

Can you tell me, if the following setup is working/supported?

 

Current architecture:
SQL setup:
SQL instance: SQL 2005 (9.00.4060)
SQL instance collation: Latin1_General_CI_AS
OS SQL Host: W2k8R2

EV setup:
OS EV Host: W2k3 R2 Enterprise, SP2
SW Version: Symantec Enterprise Vault 9.0.1.1073
 

Destination setup: (already exists, sql cluster)
OS Setup: W2k12R2 Enterprise
SQL instance: SQL 2014 Enterprise SP1 CU1 (12.04416.0)
SQL instance collation: Latin1_General_CI_AS

Migration procecure:
Looks stright forward and should not be a problem regarding database migration.
All steps clear.
Instructions: https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH35744.html

 

Question:
- Is the database supported within the new configuration setup?
- Based on the compatibility chart, only default compatibility levels of the sql instance will be supported.
What that mean in the case of EV - use the 2005 compatibiltiy mode or upgrade to naive 2014 db support.
