Upgrading the existing
cluster to IMPAX 6.5.3
You can now upgrade the production servers to IMPAX 6.5.3, starting with the Database Server.
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.
Staging the new IMPAX 6.5.3 Database Server
(Topic number: 147160)
1.
Before proceeding with the forklift upgrade, if not already done, stage a new IMPAX 6.5.3 Database
Server (in a single-host, dedicated Database Server, or all-in-one configuration, as applicable).
Important!
Give the new Database Server the same host name as the existing production Database
Server. (This also applies to any other servers in the IMPAX cluster.) Network drive letters
also should remain the same for the SQL database, caches, HSM archive, and so on.
The following is a high-level overview.
To stage the new IMPAX 6.5.3 Database Server
1. Install Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. For details, see “ Installing and configuring Windows
Server 2008 R2” (topic number 141323) in the IMPAX 6.5.3 AS300 Installation and
Configuration Guide.
