EV migration from 32 to 64 bit

[Anuj_Kr]

Dear Folks,

    I have a customer EV 9.0.1 environment on 32 bit Window 2003 servers which we are migrating to New H/w 64bit Win2008 R2.

There are total 4 servers in One site all with same 32 bit OS/hw:

1) for Email archiving

2) for Journal

3) Discovery Accelerator

4) SQL Database

My new 4 servers are ready and we are planing to migrate tomorrow. I ran Deployment scanner today on all 1, 2 & 3, all missing and required component are fixed except MSMQ Threshold. I am getting this warning on Deployement  Scanner report:

The MSMQ Memory threshold is set to 0 or cannot be found. Please see the following information on configuring MSMQ with Enterprise Vault servers: http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/273280.htm and http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/273228.htm

I concluded from above link and added below registry key

"        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSMQ\Parameters\KernelMemThreshold of data type DWORD           The default is 80. The value can range from 1 to 99. Anything else is converted to 80.           "

**Since I am on 64bit now, I created QWORD inplace of DWORD and I set the value to 95. same value were set to my Old servers 32bit.

but this registry change is not helping to fix... please help..

Thanking you....

Did you try DWORD as the technote suggested?

[Anuj_Kr]

Yes, after above post I tried DWORD also... still same warning

[AndrewB]

this parameter is set by the installation. you should be able to proceed.

Thnks AndrewB,,

        I think you are right, but why its getting checked during Deployment Scan then. I will be migrating the environment yesterday, and all archive will remain down till I migrate all 3 servers. So little curious if I can fix this warning before I start.

        I also ran Deployment Scanner on my old EV (32bit) server, I am not getting this warning there..

[AndrewB]

i think you need to put the key in Wow6432Node and use a DWORD

[Anuj_Kr]

Thanks Andrew...   my 2008 R2 is WOW64 enabled.. and I tried already by creating DWORD with value 95. Still same warning....

any other idea...  please...

i mean maybe the path should be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft...
