Morning All,
For the past week or so I've been preping my new EV 64 bit hardware to be brought online. I will be updating my hardware for SQL and my EV server and have been following the steps outlined in the following articles and videos. My new hardware will be brought online with the same name different IP of my current EV and SQL servers. EV databases have been in backup mode since the start of me beginning to prep the new hardware. All of my vault partitions and SQL databases have been copied to my new hardware in the same directories and drive paths. I do have two vault stores that will have a new path on the new hardware. I will be using the instructions outlined in the "How to change/move Vault Store partition path" below to update SQL of the new location prior to running the EVault configuration wizard. The plan is to stop all the EV servers on my current server and rename it to a temp name and rename the SQL server to a temp name as well. Rename the new hardware (SQL and EV) to the current names of my EV servers and run the configuration wizard and hopefully EV will detect the existence of the original installlation.
The only thing that I'm unsure of is step 12a in the "How to move EV to a new Server" document. I'm assuming I run this against the new SQL server, but what is this command actually doing? Just was unsure so I thought I would ask. Does anyone see anything wrong with the steps or am I missing anything?
