Sametime 8.5.2.x Migration to Sametime 9
Tags :Sametime migration
So you want to migrate from IBM Sametime 8.5.2 to Sametime 9.0? It is not a straight migration. Gab and I warned you of this at the Consultant In Your Pocket webcast you need to go watch.
Because of changes to Websphere Application Server architecture, it is not possible to perform a straight migration from Sametime 8.5.x (based on Websphere 7.0.0) to Sametime 9 (based on Websphere 8.5.5). Instead, you must deploy Sametime 9 separately from your 8.5.x deployment and then reproduce any custom configuration items the Sametime 9 deployment.
That is straight from IBM in a recent technote that backs up our planning steps for migration to IBM Sametime 9.0 from Sametime 8.5.2. There is much more involved in the technote we may go into in some supplemental material.
Go watch the webcast replay from Consultant In Your Pocket on "What's New in IBM Sametime 9.0"
