Well here goes another. I have been putting off a migration of 4.0 to 5.5
for a long time now. I am somewhat prepared though, I've got a new server
that I will be installing 5.5 on and moving everything frome the old server,
that seems like the easy part once I get the old server up to 5.5.
Question #1 Will the exchange clients from 4.0 work with 5.5?
Question# 2 Is there a way to simple move everything from the old 4.0
server to the new 5.5 server I will be installing? Reason I ask this, is
because the old 4.0 server will be taken out of commission as soon as
humanly possible and I am actually quite afraid to upgrade it. The database
conversion from 4.0 to 5.5 will take about 2 hours....and this server has a
bad habit of bugchecking and rebooting at random. With my luck it would be
during the conversion:) I know I can move priv and pub.edb over but my
understanding is that the directory is platform dependant and I will be
changing platforms.
Current server is an DEC Alphaserver 400, with 384 meg RAM, RAID 1 for OS,
RAID 5 for logs, RAID 5 for store
New server is Poweredge 2500 w/933mhz, 1gig RAM, same HDD config.
Let me know if I provided all the details necessary.
