I have a Win2003 server running NW 7.5.2. We will be upgrading this
machine from Win2003 (32bit) to Win2008 (64bit) - by re-formatting the
boot drive, and installing clean; not an upgrade in place. I was looking
through the Networker Procedure Generator, and that doesn't seem to be a
scenario that is covered (i.e., upgrade from 32bit to 64 on same hardware,
while maintaining all history). The server will have the same name and IP
address as before.
Do I need to do a modified sort of disaster recovery - i.e., full
bootstrap and CFI backup; re-format and install Win2008. Install NW, and
run a mmrecov, then a "nsrck -L7"? Does that work 32bit to 64bit - they
are just NW data files, right, not binary executables?
Or should I do a save of the /res, /index and /mm folders, and replace
them after installing the new 64bit NW?
I don't care about any other data from the old server; we're going to
re-install all applications, etc from scratch. The only thing I want to
bring over is the NW history. I need that history. :-)
