Hey all,
I'm running EV v7.5 SP5 on W2K3 SP2 R2 32-bit SE. I'm looking at jumping EV v8 altogether and going directly to EV v9. I know that I can't do an upgrade straight from v7.5 to v9; I have to upgrade v7.5 to v8 and then upgrade again to v9. What I would like to do though is change the OS too. So here's the question:
If I build a parallel EV v9 system (cluster likely) beside my existing v7.5 install which uses 64-bit W2K8 Server EE R2, can I migrate the vaults from the existing v7.5 server to the new v9 cluster? If I do a data-only recovery of my existing v7.5 server, I can only recover the vaults to another v7.5 server. Is it possible for me to move the vaults from one to the other? Or do I have to build the new 64-bit W2K8 cluster, install v7.5, do a data-only recovery to put the vaults there, and then upgrade to v8 and then to v9.
Thoughts?
Mike
