Portal upgrade from 6.0 to 7.3 strategy

73 Views

Hi Gurus,

We are currently on NW 640, EP 6.0 on Sql 2000 and windows 2003. We are planning to upgrade to the latest NW 7.3 which requires sql 2008 and Windows 2008. I am looking for best possible aproach I could take to do this upgrade.

My strategy:

I would like to first upgrade the windows to 2008 then the SQL to 2008 and finaly NW to 7.3. However, based on my research on PAM(Product Availability Matrix), I realized that NW640 is not compatible with SQL 2008 or Windows 2008. So I plan to do the upgrade in 2 phases: First upgrade the SQL to 2005, then NW to 7.0. In the second phase, I would upgrade the Windows to 2008, then SQL to 2008 and finally upgrae NW from 7.0 to 7.3

Please comment on my approach and also suggest any better approaches

Thanks!
