Hi folks,<br><br>Planning out our upgrade to Unity version 5 from 4.2.1 (running win2k). I have a spare server of the same model etc that I would like to use to make the OS upgrade easier but had a question I was hoping someone on the list might know.<br>
<br>What I'm considering is bringing up the new server as a brand new Unity install with a new server name, IP address, etc while the existing system is still in place, and then migrate the users/settings over. Does anyone know if it's possible using the global subscriber manager to move subscribers from a Unity 4.2 system to a Unity 5.0 system? I've never used the tool myself for this purpose (we only have 1 Unity server), but I see that it had "importing, deleting and
moving subscribers between Unity servers".. just not sure about between versions of Unity. I would still have to reconfigure call handlers in this case. I'm trying to get a hold of some lab resources to test GSM myself between unity versions.<br>
<br>My other option (if I understand correctly) would be to build the system as the same version of Unity 4.2 on win2k3, do a DiRT restore, and then upgrade to 5.0. Maybe this is quicker anyway, has anyone had trouble with this? assuming the same version of DiRT to backup and restore of course.<br>
