I have a VM LiveSync setup, CommServe is Windows 19 running 11.28 and old version of SQL. From the online documentation and the SQL upgrade recommendations, and supported version migration for Windows to Linux. It looks like the hardware refresh and staying on Windows (enabled in REGEDIT) to 11.40 is the best approach, this will allow for the Windows migration to Linux by Dec-2027 approach with supported workflows. Are there any caveats - or a link to VMs (LiveSync) hardware refresh steps, CommServe installed with C-Name, so expecting a straightforward import on to Windows 25 and SQL 22.
It seems because of the old version of CV, stops me running SQL in place upgrades or Windows to Linux migrations. Everything seems to be 11.32. or 11.36 options only, so to avoid multiple convoluted paths, just create 2 x new VM’s, enable CV on Windows and download CV 11.40.x import the CV DB’s during install. Shutdown the old LiveSync pair and fire up the new VM’s importing the DB files during the CV install. Keep it simple to get on a supported version.
Just looking to understand the LiveSync piece and any caveats during install. I presume installing the existing DRServe DB during the standby node install and so on process being advisable. Am i correct in that once on 11.40 a Linux standby server can be added to the mix and is supported, assisting with migration off Windows (this i need to check).
Hope the scenario and thought process makes sense, and nothing obvious, that i’ve missed.
All answers thoughts appreciated.
