I would not put production APP nor DB servers for Remedy on a VM servers. We live with (for cost considerations)filter and active link issues routinely in our DEV and test environments weekly. We handle a huge volume of tickets (over 2.5 million per year) in prod, and our systems are too critical to allow the hiccups caused on VMs. If you go to Windows, spec it properly with physical servers and you won't regret it. The mid-tier can be VMs, but we don't know yet if this will be and issue with the 7.6.04 version we are building out now.

I'm looking to see if anyone has had any expierence (or whether is is possible) replacing existing ARS servers from one OS to another while keeping the same database. Basicially here would be our scenerio: We currently have 4 Solaris ARS Servers, 4 Windows VM Midtier Servers, and a dedicated Oracle Database on AIX. We are looking to swap out the 4 Solaris ARS servers and replace them with 4 Windows VMs running ARS, while keeping the same Oracle database. Thoughts...conerns? Let me hear it :) Thanks! _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are" _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are"
