Hello Community,

i have a customer project where we want to upgrade the EV 10.0.3 to the new EV 11 version. We have four EV Server which are using the mailarchiving feature with ex 2010 (Cas Array, DAG) and connected to an SQL Cluster. 

Do we need new licence for the upgrade?

Are there main problems which we should be concern about?

Are there certains things that should be prepared on the SQL and EX Server before upgrading?

Are there any big problems with the new EV11 Version?

 

Thank you very much.

Nothing specific, just check the EV compatibility list for the supported SQL version.

No big problems, however do install the Hotfix which was released last week

As Amol has mentioned no big problems but plan for the new features or requirements - not show stoppers but better to rtfm: 1. Storage - new Storage queue location which is a new safety copy feature and recomended to have MIN 25 gb and iops profile of MSMQ( so fast disk and you just want to use the existing msmq drive) refer to the EV11 perf guide and feature briefing doc for the new options BEFORE the upgrade you will also need to ensure A/V exclusions are in place and backup jobs amended to include this location 2. New fast browse or metadata store feature which speeds up search by 18x -that requires more EV and SQL cpu when initially enbled and if turning that on you would want to check on your existing CPU perf first - read the EV11 perf guide and feature briefing docs 2. Mobile device support or IMAP feature Just added requirements and config but again all new...in EV11 There are a few more things but these arr my top 3
