Hi All,
I'm in the middle of upgrading our Exchange Server 2007 into 2013 by using staged migration from the existing Exchange Server 2007 mailbox server into the new 2013 mailbox server. So I can migrate users per storage groups in one weekend.
However, what about EV 9.0.4R1 ? does it supports Exchange Server 2013 ?
Solved! Go to Solution.

The compatibility guide is your friend...
Exchange 2013 is supported as of EV10SP3 you will have to upgrade!

Hello John,
I would pesonally first migrate/upgrade, then when that is ok, consolidate.

Gertjan, so in this case the EV must be upgraded first before I upgrade the Exchange Server 2013 ?
At the moment I'm using version 9.0.4
11-06-2013 03:35 PM
Yup, as Gertjan stated, you're going to have to be on EV10 SP3 per the compatibility guide

Thanks for the clarification Jesus,
My EV now is at v9.0.4 while the Exchange Server is on 2007 SP3
at the moment I'm kinda stuck because the EV VaultStore is sitting just 2% free, so with the condition above can I still perform the upgrade from 32 bit EV 9.0.4 into 64 bit v10.0.4 ?

Cool, no worries Jesus.
My current Index drive is 1 TB with 500 GB free. so it is 50% at least.

Direct upgrade from 9-32Bit to 10-64bit is not supported.
"EV 9.0 (any version) that is installed on a 32-bit Windows
Server must be migrated to a 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2
machine prior to upgrading to EV 10. For instructions on how
to migrate Enterprise Vault 9.x to 64-bit hardware, see
Technical Note TECH141481 in the Related Documents
section below. Also, a server settings migration wizard is
available to migrate EV 9.0 SP1 or SP2 servers to 64-bit
hardware. Refer to How To Note HOWTO42445 in the
Related Documents section below.
See Tech 53174 - "Supported upgrade paths for Enterprise Vault (EV), Compliance Accelerator (CA), Discovery Accelerator (DA) and Discovery Collector (DC)." for full details
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH53174
You will need to Migrate your EV 9 to 64bit environment first, and then upgrade to 10.
Good Luck

Trafford, the apologize for the confusion caused :)
the correct term is "transitioning", because there will be EV 9 and EV 10 VM running at the same time.
11-14-2013 02:57 PM
Exactly,
That is what I want to achieve, but in this case I assume that the server disk space and drive mapping must be identical.
Old EV 9: A:\ Index - 1 TB B:\ Index - 1 TB D:\ Index - 1 TB E:\ VaultStore1 Closed - 1 TB F:\ VaultStore2 Closed - 1 TB G:\ VaultStore3 Closed - 1 TB .... X:\ VaultStore20 Open - 1.26 TB
into the following new server:
New EV 10: A:\ Index - 1 TB B:\ Index - 1 TB D:\ Index - 1 TB E:\ VaultStore1 Closed - 1 TB F:\ VaultStore2 Closed - 1 TB G:\ VaultStore3 Closed - 1 TB .... X:\ VaultStore20 Open - 1.26 TB
11-14-2013 03:04 PM
It would be ideal if the target server can be as follows:
New EV 10 VM:
A:\ Index - 1 TB
B:\ Index - 1 TB
D:\ Index - 1 TB
\\CIFS\Share1\VaultStoreA Closed - 4 TB (Contains VaultStore1 - 4)
\\CIFS\Share2\VaultStoreB Closed - 4 TB (Contains VaultStore5 - 8)
\\CIFS\Share3\VaultStoreC Closed - 4 TB (Contains VaultStore9 - 12)
....
\\CIFS\Share1\VaultStoreX Open - 4 TB (Contains VaultStore20 - future)
is that above possible during the migration or do I have to do the second stage project to consolidate those VaultStore into the CIFS share ?

haha yes, you are right :)
