Greetings all:
My company is trying to decide if we want to upgrade our largest production
server (AS8200 running DU 4.0D w/ Oracle 7.3.4 and 1TB storage grouped with
LSM) up to a GS60 as painlessly as possible. Unfortunately, we do not have
a backup server to roll our data on to, so we would be doing a rather
critical upgrade.
I know with the upgrade to a GS60, we will have to upgrade the OS to 4.0E
(for the EV6 support). Normally, when I do an upgrade, I like to do a
scratch install of the OS, but it won't be possible on this machine, since a
week of downtime is unacceptable. Therefore, I'll need to do an
installupdate. Does anyone have any war stories or gotchas that I should be
aware of on doing an installupdate from 4.0D to 4.0E?
Of course, I'll take the standard precautions of making 100 backup copies,
burning incense, and summarizing afterwards.
Best regards,
