The steps that are required to migrate in a replicated server environment are presented.

About this task

In a replicated server environment, there are two or more servers with replicated databases. Follow the steps to migrate in a replicated server environment:

Procedure

  1. Install the Domino 9 Server on one of the replicated Notes servers.
  2. On the same server, install Data Protection for HCL Domino 7.1.
  3. Stop taking backups on older Domino servers and begin full backups with Data Protection for HCL Domino 7.1. Alternatively, continue backing up in parallel on both servers until the new production environment is in place. Because Domino supports replication between servers, restores of backup data that is taken with the current Notes IBM Storage Protect can be done using the current Notes IBM Storage Protect on the Domino server. Replication action propagates the restore operation to the new Domino server. When a restore operation is run to the Domino server with Data Protection for HCL Domino 7.1, the restored database can be replicated to the Domino server.
  4. When the Domino server and backup scheme are stable, the other replicated servers can be upgraded with the new Domino Server and Data Protection for HCL Domino 7.1.
