IMPAX 6.2 or later DAA consolidation with existing hardware
(Topic number: 125319)
The following diagram depicts an IMPAX 6.2 or later DAA consolidation scenario.With this method,
additional hardware is required to function as the Database Server of a temporary DAA cluster. The
estimated downtime is the time required for the cold backup and the upgrade of the existing
production system to IMPAX 6.5.3.
Note:
The IMPAX 6.5.3 AS300 server platform is Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. Existing servers
can be restaged with this operating system, assuming that the hardware is 64-bit compatible.
All Database Server upgrades are forklift upgrades, involving fresh installations onto restaged
or new hardware.

(upgrades to IMPAX 6.5.3)
After the temporary DAA cluster is installed with IMPAX 6.2 or later software (the IMPAX version
currently being used in production), the following high-level tasks are performed:
1. Restore a cold backup from IMPAX 6.2 or later production system to the temporary DAA
cluster.
2. Detach the DAA server from the IMPAX 6.2 or later production system and make it part of
the temporary DAA cluster.
3. Upgrade the database, schema, and IMPAX software on the IMPAX 6.2 or later production
system.
(Upgrades of AS300 servers to IMPAX 6.5.3 are forklift upgrades, involving fresh installations
onto restaged or new hardware.)
4. Convert DAA entries to PACS Store and Remember on the upgraded IMPAX 6.5.3 production
cluster.
