(For details on supported SUs, refer to the IMPAX 5.x–6.x Service
Update and Hot Fix Migration Paths spreadsheet in the “Additional
documents” section of the IMPAX Knowledge Base > Main Knowledge
Base Page.)
AS300 (Windows-based Database Server)Operating system
SQL ServerDatabase
Any direct attached archive, such as CD-R, DVD-R, MOD, or DLTArchive type
If the cluster meets the first three criteria but is using only HSM or PACS Store and Remember
archiving—no attached archives—then upgrade that cluster according to the procedures documented
in the AS300 Upgrade Guide—IMPAX 6.2 or Later to IMPAX 6.5.3.
If upgrading from IMPAX 5.2 or 5.3 or if upgrading an IMPAX AS3000 (Solaris database) cluster,
refer to the guides specifically related to those versions and configurations.
Supported Windows and database versions
(Topic number: 134867)
Be aware of the following limitations related to supported Windows and database versions on various
IMPAX servers.
• Since all IMPAX 6.5.3 AS300 servers and Application Servers must be installed on Windows
Server 2008 R2 SP1, all upgrades to IMPAX 6.5.3 require forklift upgrades to new or restaged
hardware. All AS300 servers and Application Servers in a cluster must use the same operating
system. For details on installing Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, refer to the IMPAX 6.5.3 AS300
Installation and Configuration Guide.
• For IMPAX AS300 upgrades, if you are currently on SQL Server 2000 or later, and you want
to continue using SQL Server, you must do a forklift upgrade onto new or restaged hardware
installed with SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1. For details on installing SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1, refer
to the AS300 Preparing to Upgrade Guide—IMPAX 4.5, 5.2, 5.3, or WEB1000 to IMPAX 6.5.3
or the AS300 Preparing to Upgrade Guide—IMPAX 6.2 or Later to IMPAX 6.5.3.
• To migrate an IMPAX AS300 cluster from SQL Server to Oracle, contact Agfa Professional
Services for assistance. This migration process is not documented in this guide.
DAA consolidation
(Topic number: 123304)
A Direct Attached Archive (DAA) is a non-networked long-term storage device directly connected
to a server. IMPAX 6.4 and later versions do not support DAA. Therefore, all legacy IMPAX systems
with DAA that upgrade to IMPAX 6.5.3 must migrate the obsolete DAA to a network-based archive;
that is, to DICOM PACS Store and Remember or to HSM archiving.
