<p class="MsoNormal">Hi</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I have been struggeling with this upgrade
for some some now. I hope someone can cast som light on the matter</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We are running an MCS-7835 with 6.1.3.3190
on. This server does not support 8.0. We also have a new IBM Server that now
has a clean install of 8.0.0 on it. The server supports 8.0, and is ordered to
Cisco spec. But it will not support 6.1.3 nor 7. So I have a gap between 6.1.3
and 8.0 here.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This I hoped to resolv by installing a
clean 6.1.3.3190 server in vmware, restoring the DRS backup from our production
server, and then upgrade this to 8 and do a DRS backup again. Restore to the
new server and voila :D. Sounds like a good plan ? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br>
I tought so too, but its not as easy as it seems…..</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I did a DRS, that went fine.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Made my 6.1.3.3190 clean install in vmware,
that went fine aswell.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Made a separate VLAN so that I could use
the actual IP’s without interfering with the production server.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">And did a DRS restore. All this went fine.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Now then. </span></p>
