Re: RE 7.0.1 upgrade technique.

   When you update each server, does it just transfer the data once for each
   partition? I've never used the PC setup option.

   I just FTP the SAVFs to each physical server I have and leave them in a
   DOMINOXXX library. Then, if I'm ever in a jam and have a bum server that I
   need to reload Domino on the files are already there for the install and I
   don't need to download or go to my specific PC. It can (and has!) be a
   huge time saver. Once, when I upgraded my Sametime's Domino server I
   actually had to reload Sametime over itself. It helped only having to do a
   rstlicpgm!!

   And I always keep the SAVFs for all current domino servers as well as the
   release I just upgraded from - just in case...

     Hi all

     I've upgraded 6 servers (5.0.12 -> 7.0.1) from PC, with the Java
     Setup.Exe
     without problems...
     It's just a little bit long time to "upload" about 1 Go (uncompressed)
     to
     the I5 box !
