EV9 to EV10 upgrade comments
Anyone have any first hand experience upgrading from EV9 to EV10? How different are the 2 versions, and how easy is the upgrade? Symantec is only offering EV9 training in 2012 so we may have to look at upgrading to EV10. We have a fairly basic environment, a non distributed setup. I have found some info online but any first hand accounts would be awesome.
Thank you!
it shouldn't be difficult at all, however the versions are quite different due to the fact it introduces a whole new indexing engine and a whole new way to manage indexes (updates, rebuilds etc).
But really i would first just install the EV10 deployment scanner, make sure that your environment is up to task, for instance the EV minimum specs are out of a lot of companies reach (i.e Windows 2008 R2 x64 with 8GB memory, minimum)
However for a small environment, it shouldnt be much more than a next next finish and then converting the indexes once you're done, however for bigger environments it would take a lot more planning, but that would be the same of upgrading any version of EV, even EV8 to EV9
