Hi Guys,
Apologies if this has been asked before, I have searched and only came across results for full server migrations.
My scenario is this: We currently have our Orion NPM/NCM environment front end on windows server 2008 (database is 2012 /w SQL 2008 on a separate box) - now I know to go any higher we need to upgrade to 2012 (or above) I am looking for guidance on if we can simply upgrade the O/S to 2012 as opposed to performing a full migration/rebuild of the front end onto a new VM? our environment, performance wise is very snappy (front end is a VM so we dont really need to migrate for new hardware or anything) - plus we wish to trail SAM 6.6 for monitoring our server estate and need to be on 2012+ for this
Have people performed O/S upgrades as opposed to full migrations?
Any success/horror stories? - will solar-winds support this method if anything goes wrong during the process?
Thanks
