Moving tasks etc to a different server...

Hi Folks,

 

We currently have 2 E.V. servers in our enviroment, both on EV9. One of them runs all our mail archiving and the other does file.

Is it possible to move all the mail archiving across to the other box ? Do we just need to move the indexes and then re-create the tasks ? I've googled it but cant really find any clear instructions?

(reason where doing this is so we can flatten one and slap e.v. 10 on it).

Any help would be welcomed?

 

Paul.

If both Evserver belong to the same site you can simply move the task to another server. The indexes and vault stroe can be on the same server.You can move the indexes and Vault store to other location as well.

If you want to move the Task to another server you just need to make sure the task is stopped , there are no item in the MSMQ queues. Once the task is stopped you can delete it and then simply create the task on another server>

Do you have both the Ev server in the same EVsite ?

Yeah they are in the same site...

As our indexes/stores are on the san can we just present the san to the other box ?

then just reset the alais in dns ?

refer the documents I suggested before about moving Indexes and vault store. You can preser the SAN to the other box but you need to update the entries in the database, and make sure you take a backup of the database before making any changes.

what do you plan on doing after you upgrade to EV 10? you can't have mixed EV versions sharing the same directory or site.
