Agile 9.3.3 on Windows server 2012 R2
Hello everyone,
Is anyone running Agile 9.3.3 on Windows server 2012 R2 ? if so how is it working? any issues?
I have looked at the capacity planing document for 9.3.3 and it seems that win server 2012 R2 is not certified for 9.3.3 which is not good.
Right now, we are running Agile 9.3.3 on Win server 2008 R2 and we will have to move to win server 2012 R2 sooner than later. I am trying to explore my options:
1- is an OS upgrade of the same servers from 2008 to 2012 an option? if it is an option, is it recommended? has this been done before?
2- Or fresh 2012 servers with fresh Agile installation is the route to go?
Any input from anyone will be greatly appreciated
regards,
Abdellah
Hi Abdellah,

That is the problem, you won’t have a good support if the OS is not certified against Agile version. Also, I strongly recommend that you consider to go to at least 9.3.5 version, 9.3.6 is available and so far I faced no issue.

Take a look at the Windows Tech note bellow. It seems that for some versions you can upgrade, but others don’t, the example in the note bellows says that is feasible to go from WS2012 to 2016.

If the upgrade is possible,do it in place, better than migrate. However I strongly recommend to you to use a Linux OS. Oracle Linux 6 or seven are really stable and easy to use.
