Upgrade to TeamSite 6.7.1

Surender

Hi All,
we are currently using TeamSite 6.1 on Solaris 8 platform.
we want to now upgrade to Teamsite 6.7.1 SP1. I think Solaris 8 platform is no longer supported to TS6.7.1 SP1. So we need to move on to Solaris 9 platform. but we can't directly upgrade from TS6.1 to TS6.7.1 SP1. So first we need to upgrade to TS6.1 SP2 then again upgrade to TS6.7.1 SP1.

Even after upgrading to TS6.7.1 SP1, need to migrate the backing store using iwmigrate CLT. we are planning these activities first on development box then after that on Production. before doing this activity we want to Copy the existing Production backing store to dev box and do all the activities.

As iwmigrate CLT takes considerable no.of days, we want to avoid running this CLT on production. So can we copy the already migrated content store from dev box to production box or still we need to run the iwmigrate CLT on production ?

Please help me in this situation .

Thanks.

We too are in the same situation, while migrating content from TS 6.1 AIX box to TS 6.7.1 SP1 RH linux box.
Planning to do iwmigrate on a dev box.
Difference being less processors and RAM.
1) Any cons, in doing this?
2) Can we run iwmigrate without TS installed on the machine.

What I'd recommend -

from beginning to end - very carefully. The more you detail what you needed to do to get everything working on DEV, the easier / faster it will be to get everything working on PROD.

Thanks fish for your valuable suggestions. That is really very helpful in upgrading all my environments to TS 6.7.1 SP1.

Instead of wiping out the Dev box can we first upgrade to TS 6.1 SP2 and then upgrade from TS 6.1 SP2 -> TS 6.7.1 SP1, I think this path is supported.

What is your suggestion here?

because nobody will agree to wipe out the TeamSite and do fresh install.

Thanks

If you can get a fresh box to install, that 'll be good.. you 'll need to spend time on customizations, but thats worth the investment, for long term.

If you see "upgrade_planning_guide.pdf" and other KBs, always recommend a fresh install.

You can go the double (or triple if you count the OS) upgrade route if you want - it certainly could work. When dealing with both OS and application upgrades, I personally prefer to start with a clean slate if possible - but this is your server and so it's your call how you proceed. Just make sure to do it carefully and document everything you do throughout the entire process.

Hi,

Anybody have an idea about the approximate time taken by "iwmigrate" CLT on a 25 GB content ?

aby_sam

This is the reply from support for the same query.

There are no real guidelines that I can give you for how long it will take. There are many factors that affect the speed, including processor speed, network bandwidth if the migration happens over a network, the number of submit events, the number of editions, and the total number of bytes to be copied. It is completely different for different environments. Roughly speaking, you can expect a 2GB/hour transfer. This won't equate to the size of the store, but may give you a rough idea of how long it may take.
