Can anyone tell me if I can go ahead without having to upgrade to a intermediate version or can I just go to 9.0 from 6.1?

Cheers.
 
Dont believe you need to go to an interim version but you will need to ensure your software assurance is valid etc for licence purposes

Sure someone will correct me if im wrong.......

Good luck!
 
Software assurance prob won't come into play beacuse R 6 was pre Jan 2008 (or 2007 can@t remember) when SAPS kicked in. But you will need a new options Password from the amc (if your a reseller you do that yourself, if not ask your reseller)

If you read the RN of release 9 it will tell you exactly if you can upgrade directly (you can by the way)
 
Have a spare hard drive on standby.

The hard drive gets re-formatted as part of the upgrade and it can fail.

If this is a good customer, I would consider replacing the harddrive on spec as it would be close to EOL anyway.

I suggest a complete rebuild
New features and maybe a lot of unused used/extensions in the system

I would check the size of the current hard drive. If it is 40 GBs, then the system will experience a failure. Maybe not that day, but pretty quickly.

To show the HD info, get into the shell via telnet and type ataShow at the prompt. Notice capitalization! If the drive is 40GBs then put in a 80GBs.

I would just take a full backup before upgrade (always a good idea) and then remove the 40GB drive. Do a manual software install with the new 80GB drive and then restore the database after doing the AMC step listed above.

If you did not take enough time to get it right the first time...

What makes you think that you have time to fix it?
