Upgrading from EV10 to EV11 - Know Issues

Hi

We are currently looking at upgrading from Enterprise Vault 10.0.4 to EV11.0.1 CHF5 (and then up to EV12).

We find a lot of issues with EV10, and the fix from VERITAS has always been,  'oh thats fixed in EV11, upgrade and you'll be right'

We are going to be on EV11 for a time,  while we upgrade Exchange and SQL etc,  so my question is, are there any known Gotchya's or 'upgrade to EV12 will fix that'  that we should know about.

We have a fairly large environment (168,000 archived mailboxes and 1.9 billion items archived, with 577TB of Data) so can't afford major isuses during transition.

Cheers

    Hi mate,

    It should be pretty stable. There used to be some issues related to indexing in EV 11.0.1 but they got all addressed with the latest hotfixes (CHF4/5).

    Have a look here:

      Good to hear thanks.

      I've looked at that article and there are no show stoppers really.

        Hello LeeO.

        I've done several upgrades from 10.0.4 to 11.01.CHF5, without issues.

        It is (as you probably know) absolutely necessary to have a proper backup of your SQL databases. That is the one absolute requirement. Be advised that EV12 requires Windows2012, (check compatibility guide), so you might also need to upgrade your EV servers to that OS.
