The Migration of HA/F200 with Windows NTS/E to HA/F200 with Windows 2000 Advanced

Server can be performed while keeping your cluster online (a rolling upgrade) provided that the

firmware levels of all RA4000 controllers are at the same level and v2.58 or later.

IMPORTANT: Back up all data before beginning the migration process.

IMPORTANT: Prior to beginning this migration, both nodes running Windows NTS/E must

have Service Pack 6a for Windows NTS/E installed.

compatible with older drivers found on SmartStart 4.90 or earlier.
