ARCServe 9.0 ----> ARCServe r11.1 recomendations?

[sergiost]

Hello,

we have ARCServe 9.0 and in a few weeks, we will migrate to r11.1 version.
We will install and configure ARCServe in a cluster with W2000 server (PIV 2600, 512 RAM,40GB ) and now our services include a SAN, several exchanges sever, several SQLServers (we also have the backup agent that it's necessary), then... Any recomendatión before installing and configuring? any special order?

I know the AC recomendations but sometimes the real experience is different.

thanks,

Sergio Sánchez Trujillo

There is a quite a good document on CA's site which covers a lot of the things you'll probably want to know about here :

Key thing to remember in your SAN environment is you can't run mixed 9.x and 11.x in the same configuration. Same for your cluster if you have it installed in cluster mode. Other than that, you can ease the upgrade if you're using remote agents and upgrade them at a later date if it's not feasible to do everything at once.
