Hi All
We have a client who's using Windows 2003 server with EHP 4 -ERP 6, Database (IBM) DB2 6_81 version.
client requirement is need to upgrade the 2003 server to 2012, with same SAP level and Database.
How shall we do the process
Taking backup and restore method is fine but we had some doubts
1.DB2 6 version is not supported to windows 2012 server when we check in PAM. so whether we need to upgrade DB2 to latest version?
2.Client need re-installation on same machine so that, shall we move to this process stop SAP and DB . Insert OS CD and upgrade OS alone to 2012 server. whether this process will work out and whether DB will support?
3. when we have check in we got some points to migrate from 2003 windows to 2012 . once taken full backup we have to install windows 2008 restore the back up and again take full backup with windows 2008 and the install 2012 server os then restore the data.
whether which method is recommend 2 and 3 one.
if i go for 3rd one whether need to buy license for 2008 server then for 2012 server.
Can some you guys help us regrading this
