Hello,
We have a private metrics reporting server running on Windows 2012 VM.
It has off-course SQL server as well as Web-server package. CV version is 11.28.91.
The plan is to do an in-place upgrade to Wndows 2019.
What would be the best approch for this upgrade, and what should be considred before upgrading ?
Thanks

Hi
Since your current version of SQL Server is 2012 Enterprise, you won’t be able to do an in-place upgrade with our installation package as the bundled version will be the Standard Edition.
If you would like to do an in-place upgrade of your current solution you will need to provide the installation and Licensing for a new Enterprise Edition.
The best and simplest approach would be to move the Private Metrics to a new host as previously shared by

Hi
We don’t have a specific procedure for upgrading a Metric Server.
It should not take long to just upgrade it.
You can clone the VM, disable the NIC(s) and do a OS upgrade to see how long it would take.
Or I would just deploy a new Metric Server:

Deploying a new metrics server sounds like a good option.
Wouldn’t there be any dependency on the old metrics server ? or on its SQL DB ?
What would happen with all the ‘Historical data that was collected so far ?
Also forgot to mention that our current Mertrics server SQL DB is enreprise 2012 edition.
This should help:

DB can still be restored in newer releases of SQL server.
+5Best approach is to move metrics server to new HW:

If you want to do in place then you need to upgrade OS and SQL.
Is it an option to upgrade the OS first ( Windows server 2012R2 → Windows server 2019),
and then upgrade the SQL ( 2012 → 2019) using a Commvault package ?
Thanks
