Hi All,

I can see many org’s are moving from 8x to 9x versions. While switching, did anyone upgraded their hardware configuration as well. Can anyone share me what all steps we have to follow when we are doing hardware upgrade.

Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs

Thanks,
RP

Hi RP,

Below are basic level of testing we can do assuming you are using unix server.

  • you can check the firewall settings.
  • Check if you have any unix folder that are mounted.
  • Check the java heap size
  • You have to check the certificates are working fine or not. Some certificates are IP dependent.
  • Check for load balancer connections.
  • Check if your new server has been configured in SMTP server. otherwise SMTP services may not work in your new server.
