upgrading from EV10 to EV12
Hi
I am currently running EV10 version 10.0.0.1316 on 2 Windows Server 2008r2 Servers, with SQL 2005 running on a 3rd Windows Server 2008r2
Can anyone recommend an upgrade path to get to EV12, all 3 Servers to go to Windows Server 2012r2 with SQL 2014 on 1 of them
Thanks
Lois
first, review and familiarize yourself with the EV compatibility guide so you know what versions of the different components work together.
at a high level:
1. move your EV 10 servers to new Windows 2012 R2 servers following: http://www.veritas.com/docs/000081331
2. EV 11 is not compatible with SQL 2005 so before you can upgrade from EV 10 to EV 11 you'll need to upgrade SQL. SQL 2008 R2 is probably the easiest since it'll only be temporary.
3. upgrade to EV 11
4. upgrade/move the databases your new SQL 2014 server on Windows 2012 R2
5. upgrade to EV 12
Moving SQL databases is fairly simple, it's covered in http://www.veritas.com/docs/000028296
