Upgrade EV 9.0.2 to 10 - Same Servers

[Jun1or]

Hello All

There is so much information about migrating EV 9 to 10 on new servers using the migration wizard. Is it possible to rebuild the existing servers then install EV 10? If so is there an official guide? Is this recommended/supported by Symantec?

Our setup:

- HP DL360, 8 cores with 16GB RAM

- Windows 2003 Std R2 x32

- EMC SAN storage (all our EV data is kept on this storage)

- Exchange 2003 SP2

- Index size in excess of 600GB (no index's ever closed)

- Vault Partition in excess of 4TB (closed after backup's reach 1TB including Index's)

Thank You

I would probably suggest you do a data only backup disaster recovery after you have rebuilt the server with win2008 r2.  You will need to use the same version of EV for this.  Details on how to do this is in the Admin guide.

Once it is completed and all setup and working again - then you can upgrade to ev10.

Thanks John.

I will give this a go.
