Does SSMW support migration to EV 10 VCS Cluster.

[Shantaram_Sahya]

Hi All,

We are in process of migration of EV 9 stand alone server into EV 10 (64 bit) server which would be clustered using VCS. I am unable to find any info on how to convert standalone EV 10 into cluster in VCS. The Install & configure document speaks only about configuring new EV server into cluster. 

The plan here for migration is

1. Use SSMW to create package on exisiting EV 9.

2. Import the package using SSMW on standalone EV 10.

3. Convert the SSMW into VCS cluster.

My question is can SSMW do migration directly to VCS clustered EV 10 or we need to migrate to standaone and then convert standalone into cluster. If the later is true can some one help find the right documentation for the same.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Shantaram,

In my opinion, i would use the server settings migration wizard to migrate to your stand-alone EV 10 server then proceed to upgrade to a VCS cluster. The details around upgrading an existing installation to a VCS cluster can be found on Page 226 of the Installing and Configuring guide under the heading: Upgrading an existing Enterprise Vault installation to a VCS cluster

The SSMW does support migrating from cluster to cluster, there is however a known issue:

In addition to the section in the Installing and Configure guide there is a Technote:
