Enterprise Vault Email Archiving Migration from EV 10.0.1 to EV 11.0.1

[SamBusinessCont]

Current Infrastructure:

Enterprise Vault  10.0.1

OS - Windows 2008 R2 x64

Want to upgrade to Enterprise Vault 11.0.1

OS - Windows 2012 R2 x64

Exchange Mailbox Archiving.

Please suggest ways this can be achieved. I have Enterprise Vault eDiscovery installed as well.

in a nutshell,

1. full backup of your entire system

2. build your new 2012 server and install all the EV pre-reqs

3. run deployment scanner on your new 2012 server to validate

4. follow this article to move EV to a new server http://www.veritas.com/docs/000081331

5. upgrade EV 10 on your new 2012 server to EV 11 (in-place)

if your 2008 server meets the requirements for EV 11 then you could in-place upgrade EV first and then follow the technote.

fwiw, someone on this board said they did an in-place upgrade from 2008 to 2012 but that wouldn't be my choice.

Dear Andrew thank you for your response.

I am following the process to first move the EV to new server and then upgrading EV to Version 11.0.1 in the new server.

Thanks for your help.
