Preparing the ProLiant 7000 Server for Upgrade 2-3
Microsoft Widows NT Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 or later provides a scripted procedure that allows you to capture your settings and migrate those settings to the upgrade. All operating systems must be reinstalled. The software migration from your current server to the ProLiant 7000 (Pentium Pro) to ProLiant 8000 upgrade occurs in multiple phases. This section details the procedures that must be completed before beginning the hardware upgrade. Phase I procedures include:
Backing up the current software configuration Upgrading the operating system, if necessary Documenting system settings
Phase II procedures include:
Upgrading the system configuration and configuration utilities Capturing and documenting configuration settings
Phase III procedures include:
Updating the Compaq Support Software for Windows NT 4.0 Installing the HAL Recovery Agent Documenting Network settings
Phase IV occurs after the hardware upgrade and includes:
Restoring configuration and network settings Verifying the operating system environment
Before your begin the software migration procedures, make certain that you have completed the following preparations. 1. Gather the following materials and have them readily accessible. a. Seven blank formatted diskettes - One NT boot diskette - One ERD Emergency Repair Diskette - One Disk Configuration diskette - Four diskettes for the System Configuration utilities b. Compaq SmartStart and Support CD, version 4.2 or later. 2. If applicable, upgrade your operating system.
