I have more experience with this than you will ever have the time to know.

What version of SourceOne are you on?

I assume v6.5 or 6.6 since you are still on Windows 2003.

This is a multi-phase multi-step upgrade to get to the current version on Windows 2008 & SQL2008.

I would recommend hiring a consultant that's done it before to take care of this for you.

You'll sleep better for at least a few nights

It's not difficult but a lot of gotchas if you haven't done it before and you could spend tons of down time trying to figure it out.

Greetings,

Upgrading steps from 6.6* to 6.8* is found in the release notes of the 6.8* versions.

Move of SQL databases if documented in the SourceOne Admin guides.

Upgrading from 6.8.* to 7.1.* can be found in the release notes of 7.1.* release notes.

If still unsure please engage EMC Professional services or an EMC partner.

I am not sure whom you would have talked to in EMC because these upgrades would have been done by many partners and EMC consultants.

PS: you will not be migrating, you will be upgrading.

Thanks,

Rajan
