Moving 6.7.2 on a Windows 2000 server to a Windows 2008 64 bit server

System

I have TS 6.7.2 on a Windows 2000 server. I want to move it to Windows 2008 64 bit server. It looks like only 2008 32bit is supported since the installer gives me the following error.

Dependency and Compatibility Analysis Result: ============================================= Rejected product "TeamSite" - Windows NT (unknown) 6.1 is not supported.

TS 7.2.1 according to the release notes is supported on 2008 64 bit.

I might be stuck. What are my options for getting the backing store moved over and up and running on the 2008 64 bit OS?

I would assume that I can't just move the 6.7.2 store over to the new server with a fresh install of 7.2.1.

Actually, you probably can - but if you want to be "safe" - you move a copy of the store to the new server and set it up as a temporary second store, then go through the iwmigrate process.

You'll probably have to run iwidmap, and if you do run iwmigrate remember to run iwfsshrink afterwards.

If you decide to skip all that (you may still have to do iwidmap) you can bring TS up, take it down, and then run iwfsck on it - if it comes back clean you're probably okay to continue using it as-is.

Thanks Ghoti, here is what I received back from Support.

You can install a fresh install of 7.2.1 on Windows 2008.

Copy the iw-store from old to new server, and run the Dependency Migration Tool as per the
documentation in Web Solutions Authoring Components installation guide. See “Migrate Content to Support TeamSite Associations and Dependency Management” on page 117.

Additional steps you need to remember during the copying the Content Store over
to the New System. I have put them below:

- Make sure you are logged in as admin on the server or as a user with root access.

- If you are doing a fresh installation and copying the Content Store over to the target system, you may need to remap some local OS user/group id information. Use the iwidmap CLT to perform the remapping. Refer to the following support article for additional information:
https://support.interwoven.com/kb/kb_show_article2.asp?ArticleID=49980

- Copy the tsusers.xml file from the old server to the new server. If you are using TeamSite groups on the old server, also copy tsgroups.xml.

- Stop TeamSite on the new server by issuing the following command: /etc/init.d/iw.server stop

- Copy in the content store from the old server (this must be a known good copy, taken with TeamSite frozen or shut-down).

- Run iwtgethome/private/bin/walkArchive.pl -p

-Restart TeamSite on the new server by running /etc/init.d/iw.server start

The instructions seem pretty complete from my recollection of the process - or at least they did until:[indent]...
- Run iwtgethome/private/bin/walkArchive.pl -p
- Restart TeamSite on the new server by running /etc/init.d/iw.server start[/indent]The last line is clearly Unix-specific and thus should be replaced with its Window's equivalent (net stop iwserver / net start iwserver) - but its the line just above it that has me a little confused because I don't see that script on any of the W2K3 servers I have access to right now (6.7.2, 7.2.0, and 7.2.1) - so you might follow-up with them and find out more about that script...
