Knife edge cutover is BB's term for moving a BES from hardware to other
hardware. I haven't done it, but their instructions seem convoluted and
the tasks quite laborious. I think that they call it knife-edge cutover
because they do not allow you to ever have more than one server live
with the same SRP identifier...or they shut you down and your BB's stop
working.

I may be missing something, but if all the server is going to do is host
the BB, why virtualize it at all? Unless what you mean by a "knife
edge cutover" is the process of moving the server OS to new hardware...

Subject: vmserver or esxi
I have a Blackberry server running on ancient hardware. It has about
100 users on it. I'm thinking I will P to V it, rather than do a knife
edge cutover. Would you consider just using VMserver or would you use
ESXi? The new box will be a DL360 (single processor) with 15k scsi
drives and 2 gigs of RAM. It will do nothing but host the BB server.
Thanks for any input.
