3.0 Upgrading PlateSpin Migrate

To upgrade your PlateSpin Server to PlateSpin Migrate 12.3, you must have an existing installation of PlateSpin Migrate 12.2.2 running on Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2016, with or without interim patches and hotfixes applied. Other direct upgrades are not supported.

IMPORTANT:

  • Before You Upgrade

    • Migration to Amazon Web Services

      PlateSpin Migrate 12.3 enhances the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface to support migrations to Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment. However, the support for using PlateSpin Migrate Client to perform migrations to AWS is now deprecated.

      Before you upgrade to 12.3, we recommend that you use the PlateSpin Migrate Client to complete the migration cycle of the workloads that you have already initiated with the PlateSpin Migrate Client.

    • Workloads Registered Using Migrate Agent

      Information for workloads registered using Migrate Agent will be lost during the upgrade from version 12.2.2 to version 12.3, or after any export/import process using the ImportExportAll.bat utility running on version 12.2.2.

      Before you upgrade to 12.3, we recommend that you complete the migration cycle for the workloads registered using Migrate Agent. Otherwise, you must re-register the workloads after the upgrade or export/import process.

  • Upgrading to a New Host Platform: To upgrade from an existing installation of PlateSpin Migrate 12.2.2 Server to a supported new host platform, see Upgrading to a New Host Platform.
