migrating Enterprise Vault Servers version 8

Hey

Does any one know if it is possible to use the same way to migrating Enterprise Vault Servers to 64-bit hardware for version 8 sp5 like it is for version 9

Technote for Migrating Enterprise Vault Servers to 64-bit hardware version 9

  • If you can't upgrade to EV 9, then you can move EV 8.0.5 to a Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 bits installation which is supported with that version of Enterprise Vault:

  • Hi Mias,

    It's not possible. You can use themigration wizard from 9.0.1 or later:

    Note: The Enterprise Vault Server Settings Migration wizard supports migrations from Enterprise Vault 9.0.1 or later source servers, to unconfigured Enterprise Vault 9.0.1 or later target servers.

    Take a look at the PDF:

  • In that case, upgrade to EV 9 on the same server and then you can go ahead and migrate the Enterprise Vault installation to a 64bits hardware.

  • the case is that I’m not available to upgrade to version 9, but need to migrate to another server and OS 

  • If you can't upgrade to EV 9, then you can move EV 8.0.5 to a Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 bits installation which is supported with that version of Enterprise Vault:
