EV 11 to 12.3 migration from 2008 R2 to Server 2016

Hi, just to be clear, if on EV 11 and the server OS it is running on is 2008 R2 we can't upgrade it to 12.3 directly as that OS is not supported. Thats fine as we need to retire that OS.

But can we build the new EV server with Server 2016 OS and install EV 12.3 (which supports Server 2016 OS) on it, then be able to use the Migration Wizard from the EV 11 server that is running 2008 R2?

Or do we have to go to 12.0 first (which OS would then have to be 2012 R2). Just want to avoid unnecessary steps and have the new server on 2016 ideally.

Hello,

Going from 11 to 12.3 IS supported.

See SMW

you can go from 11.0.1 directly to : 11.0.1, 12.0, 12.2, 12.3, or 12.4

To be sure, please note you need to be on 11.0.1

Thanks. Might as well install the new 12.4 binaries on the new Server 2016 box then. We are on EV 11.0.1CHF5 on the present 2008 R2 Server. 

Hi, 2 weeks ago, our EV 10.0.4 has been updated in version 11.0.1. Now, I would like to move in version 12.4. About the migration steps to go from servers A,B (OS W2K8R2) in version EV 11.0.1 to servers D,C (OS W2K16) in version EV 12.4, how to proceed? I read the technote but I don't see specific steps when the server change and I'm confused about the ability to move directly from 11.0.1 to 12.4. Thanks for your information.
