Supported Upgrade Paths
Here is an outline list of supported upgrade paths.
In-place upgrade
This is the standard upgrade path outlined earlier in the Upgrade section.
- Migrate to new replacement server (new OS, on-premises, non-cloud)
- New OS should be like-for-like (LFL). Example: Windows 2008 to Windows 2009 is acceptable; but not Linux to Windows or AhsayUBS to Windows.
- Migrate AhsayCBS to a new server
- Transfer backup users between AhsayCBS servers
- Verify clients connect, run jobs and has no new issues.
- Then proceed with in-place upgrade path.
- Migrate to cloud server (new OS, cloud VM)
- You will need storage data disks configured and natively accessible by the Operating System.
Storage will be used by User Home path
