migrating place holder from old file server 2008 to new file server 2012 R2 using EV 9

Hi all,

Can anyone here please verify and clarify the best course of action for me so that I can successfully migrate the archived files (in the form of place holder) from old File server running on Windows Server 2008 to the new File server running on Windows Server 2012 R2 ?

 

what I can see on the FSAUtility command line paramaters on my EV 9.0.4CHF5 server is that I can use the following commandline to move the placeholder to each respective directories where it resides from the old server to the new file server.

FSAUtility –pm –s \\oldFileServer\Data -d \\newFileServer\Data -f –csf

 

any suggestion and comments would be greatly apprecaited.

Thanks

    EV9 doesn't support Windows 2012 R2 so you'll have to upgrade to EV10 or EV11 before anything else.

    yes, that's the thing. so if I upgrade to EV 10 and install EV 10 FSA agent on the new file server, how can I migrate the data and vaultstore so that it is readable by the new EV v10 ?

    you upgrade to EV 10 and leave the vault store where it is unless you're moving EV to a new server in which case you move it over with the indexes and whatnot.

    looks like you already found the FSAutility which will help you move the placeholders to the new file server.
