Migrate to new server from 4.1 to 6.1.

Post by joeh » Fri Sep 13, 2013 1:19 pm

I’m planning to migrate the Vault database and application to a new server and upgrade to 6.1 at the same time.

Here is what I currently have:

Production server P1 has DB and Vault 4.1.4.
Lab server L1 has DB and Vault 6.1.
New production server P2 will eventually have DB and Vault 6.1.

Can I just backup the DB from P1 and restore to P2 then install Vault 6.1 or do I need to install 4.1.4 on P2 then upgrade to 6.1?

Will I have any problems with licenses when I attempt to run from P2 since I used the license key on L1 for testing?

Thanks in advance.

You will want to upgrade in steps through the major versions. First upgrade to Vault 5.1.2 and then install 6.1.0. See our Upgrading Guide posted here: http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic ... 13&t=11648&.

What operating system is the second server?

Compatibility of the operating system and SQL Server with the version of Vault that you are installing will need to be considered. See the compatibility chart posted here: http://www.sourcegear.com/vault/documen ... chart.html.

You will not need license keys until the upgrade is finished.
