Hi, I'm planning an upgrade from EV8 SP4 to EV 9. The upgrade doc for EV 9 does not appear to state that the configuration wizard needs to be run. Is it correct that it is just a matter of installing the binaries and starting the services in the appropriate order?
Solved! Go to Solution.

No you dont need to run the config
To install the Enterprise Vault 9.0 server software
1 Log on as the Vault Service account to each Enterprise Vault server other
than the Directory service computer, and stop the Enterprise Vault Admin
service. This action stops the Admin service itself, and any other Enterprise
Vault services.
2 Stop any other services or applications that can lock Enterprise Vault files.
For example:
■ Enterprise Vault Administration Console
■ Enterprise Vault Accelerator Manager service
■ Enterprise Vault Placeholder service
■ Enterprise Vault File Blocking service
■ Enterprise Vault File Collector service
■ Windows Event Viewer
3 Log on as the Vault Service account on the Directory service computer.
4 Start Computer Management and go to Services and Applications.

the Admin service itself and other Enterprise Vault services, including the
Enterprise Vault Directory service.
Stop any other services or applications that use Enterprise Vault. For example:
■ Enterprise Vault Administration Console
■ Enterprise Vault Accelerator Manager service
■ Enterprise Vault Placeholder service
■ Enterprise Vault File Blocking service
■ Enterprise Vault File Collector service

Starting the Directory service
After the upgrade installation on the Directory service computer, you must ensure
that the Directory service is running.
To start the Directory service
1 Use Windows Services to start the Enterprise Vault Directory service. When
the Directory service starts, it automatically upgrades the Directory database
schema and synchronizes new Exchange archiving policy advanced settings
into existing policies.
2 Wait for event 8576 to be logged in the Enterprise Vault event log:
The Directory service has completed the automatic upgrade of the
EnterpriseVaultDirectory Database
Starting the Storage service on all servers
The first time an Enterprise Vault 9.0 Storage service starts, it upgrades the
storage databases.
You must start the Storage service on every server that has a Storage service. You
must then wait for the Storage service to complete the upgrade. The Storage
service logs appropriate entries in the event log.
To start the Storage services, do the following on every server that has a Storage
service
1 Use Windows Services to start the Enterprise Vault Storage service. When
the Storage service starts, it automatically upgrades the fingerprint databases.
Event 6959 is logged for each vault store database that is upgraded.
2 Wait for event 6221 to be logged in the Enterprise Vault event log:
Storage Service started.
When you have started every Storage service and waited for the completion event,
you can continue to the next section to start the other Enterprise Vault services.
Starting all Enterprise Vault services on other servers
Start the Enterprise Vault services on all servers in the site.

When upgrading from 2007 to 8 you needed to run the configuration wizard.
In the 'upgrade' document from 9, there is no mention of the need to run it. Just start the services to upgrade the directory and store databases, when done, start the console. If it is needed, you'll get a warning you need to run the config wizard (or not ;-))
As you can tell, I have not yet performed an upgrade to 9 myself, but will do shortly.
