Hi,
I have done many upgrades using new hardware.
I have usually chosen to do a fresh install, and then import the def-file
with the application. I usually skip all system forms and manually modify
the new install with any changes that has been made in the old system.
After this, I use RRR|Chive to move the data from production to the new
server. This may take up to a week, depending on the size of your system,
but the final incremental transfer of data usually takes less than an
hour.
This give me a very clean new system.
I have done this between Unix and Windows in both directions, and with the
same/similar platform.

> We're currently planning to migrate existing Remedy environment in Sun

>
> ARS 7.0.1 p10 running on Sun Solaris 10
> Oracle 10g running on the same server
> Mid-tier 7.0.1 patch 6 running on MS Windows Server 2003
> Memory size 8GB
> 4 UltraSPARC-IIIi virtual processors each running on 1.6GHz
> No ITSM applications installed. AR System is used for in-house developed
> applications (consisting of 1052 forms).
> average of 60-70 concurrent users. 600 registered users

> Initial possible scenario Iâm currently looking at 2 options below:

> 1.Upgrade Remedy Server to latest version, purchase new hardware, and use

> Â
> OR
>
> 2. Full migration to Windows Server 2008, including the database migration
