Recommneded Upgrade from GW2014/SLES 11 to GW2018/SLES 12

bkesting over 6 years ago

I currently have a Groupwise 2014 R2 system on a SLES 11 SP4 virtual machine. I have Mobility on a separate SLES 11 SP4 virtual machine. I'm planning to upgrade to GW 2018 and SLES 12. What's the preferred way to do this?

1) Upgrade inside existing VM?

2) Build brand new SLES 12 VM and then copy over postoffice and domain data and build GW2018 from scratch?

What is your Hypervisor?
The vmware vote appears to be for #2

In the process of figuring out the same set of upgrades, I think I'll be
working a few of the long weekends this year.

In this case i'd vote for option 2b) which is basically option 2) along with the fresh VM running on another hypervisor.
