In-place upgrade from windows 2008 R2 to windows 2012

Hi all,
we are currently running SAP ERP EHP7 (Netweaver 7.40 ) on Windows 2008 R2 server, MS SQL 2012 database.
Is it possible to do in-place upgrade to Windows Server 2012?
We want to do upgrade without buying new hardware  and perform system copy.
Regards

Hi,
the only note where we discussed our findings about in-place upgrades of the Windows operating system is SAP Note 1494740.
Even though the upgrade to Windows Server 2012 is not discussed explicitly, the note is also valid for Windows Server 2012.
The only thing you have to take care is: upgrade your system components (database, other 3rd party software) to versions supported on Windows Server 2012 before you are performing the in-place upgrade.
Regards
Peter

    I compared the registry with a working system but the Counters - and all other keys - looked fine.
    At the same time as upgrading a DC a colleague was updating an unrelated server, and he started to see similar events in the event log (but for the Dell OpenManage Essentials service, not ADWS). The error was complaining about KERNELBASE.dll which set my
    spider sense tingling. We knew that this server had Windows Updates pending. Fully updating it solved the problem on that server.
    I solved the ADWS problem in the end by fully Windows Updating the DC. In particular, the ADWS Service started successfully after installing KB2919355 and rebooting. That also
    'unlocked' a further 59 updates pending. 
    After the in-place upgrade I always fully Windows Update but I'm 99% certain that KB2919355 did NOT show up when I did a Check for Updates straight after a reboot so I thought the DC was up-to-date. I then spent hours investigating the ADWS problem and rebooted
    as part of the diagnostics. It was then that I noticed on the logon screen that there were updates pending...
    Moral of the story? Windows Update, then Update again, and again, and again. The length of time it takes to Windows Update after an upgrade from 2008R2 to 2012R2 is painful though.

  • Upgraded from server 2008 r2 to server 2012 r2 standard and nothing is working

    I'm actually working on putting together a server using Server 2012 r2 as well, but we tested everything on it prior to launch and are now in the migration phase with only one application not cooperating: Exchange 2010...If you have another functional server running to keep DirSynch going with, would definitely suggest either upgrading something or downgrading another to allow for compatibility issues.We're going to keep using Exchange 2010 on the server it's installed on until we can upgrade it to 2013, otherwise if we moved it while everything else is moving, we will lose email altogether and end up with a lot of angry users...Certainly a lot of compatibility issues regarding server OSes I'm finding in my 1.5 years working here so far... I'm quickly learning the importance of researching these kinds of issues, So hey, welcome to...

    Hi Everyone
    I am desperate, I have upgraded a server to 2012 and it appears to stop DirSync from running. I can't uninstall the program because it doesn't launch the uninstall program from the control panel. I get an error message

  • Upgrade from SSRS 2008 to visual studio 2012/2013

    Hello,
    Is it possible to upgrade Visual Studio BIDS file/project types from 2008R2 to 2012/2013:
    SSRS *.sln
    SSIS * .dtsx
    *.dbproj
    If it is possible, can the resulting (upgraded) 2012/2013 file/projects be back-ended in 2008R2 SQL Server database engine?
    Or is it necessary to have the version of the back-end SQL Server database engine match the version of the VS BIDS projects?
    thanks,

    Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 does not support Business Intelligence Development Studio Integration Services, Report Services and Analysis Services projects for SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2.
    To work around this issue, you can install Visual Studio 2008 alongside Visual Studio 2010 on the same machine and then open the Business Intelligence Development Studio projects in Visual Studio 2008.
    (we have to follow side-by-side installation of SQL Server 2012 and SQL Server 2008. since you may have
    some issues with BIDS.)

  • Windows Server 2003 32bit in-place upgrade to Server 2008 32bit

    I'm attempting an in-place upgrade from Server 2003 to Server 2008.  The upgrade will proceed through 3 reboots until it reaches 77% complete and then just stops.  I'm assuming that there is a problem with a driver, but I have no way to be sure
    since there is never any error message.  If I hard-reboot it will roll back to the original OS.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Any ideas?

    I'd check the log file for the hang/rollback reason.

  • SharePoint 2013 Server OS upgrade from Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012 R2

    Is it possible to have SharePoint 2013 farm to have mixed version of OS (Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012 R2). 
    We have a request to upgrade our farm servers from WIN 2008 R2 to Win 2012 R2. We have 5 servers in farm - 
    2 App servers - running with Central Admin, Service Applications, User Profile
    3 Web Front End Servers- running web application, search and workflow manager
    the database layer is separate on sql 2012 R2
    We want to upgrade OS from windows 2008 R2 to windows 2012 R2 and SQL to SQL 2014. 
    What will be right approach to do OS upgrade in above scenario to minimize the impact of downtime.
    May be add windows 2012 based servers in farm one by one and replace the windows 2008 R2 based servers from server.
    Regards,
    Kunal Abrol

    Its possible, but I wouldn't recommend it.  The problem is that you can only install SharePoint 20103 on Windows Server 2012 r2 using the slipstreamed SP1 version.  I assume that you used the regular version to install on you Server 2008 r2 versions.
     Even if you upgrade those servers to SP1 there are some minor differences in the builds between slipstreamed SP1 and upgraded SP1.  So although it will work it isn't recommended.
    Also, you should be aware the upgrade of inplace SharePoint servers running Windows 2008 r2 to Windows 2012 r2 is not supported.  
    To upgrade to server 2012 you'll need to add 2012 servers to your environment using the slipstreamed version os SharePoint and then remove the old server 2008 r2 servers as soon as possible.  For the period of the upgrade you should be able to get away
    with running the farm in a mixed state.

    i have a server with WSUS role on win 2008 R2 Sp. While upgrating its OS to Win 2012 STD, it undergoes in complatibity check and displays to uninstall WSUS before proceding. Is it necesaaring to remove the role and continue the installation
    ? Is there any other way to over come this problem , other that removing the role and re-assigning after OS upgradation ?

    Hi,
    As far as I know, Windows Server Update Services 3.0 SP2 cannot be installed on Windows 2012, so I suggest you uninstall it, and then migrate WSUS to V6, please also go through the below threads for more helpful information:

  • Steps to upgrade from sql 2008 r2 se (nonclustered) to sql 2012 se (clustered)

    hello,
    I am currently running a non clustered instance of a sqlserver 2008 R2 SE and need to upgrade to a clustered instance of SQLServer 2012 SE. The underlying OS is Windows 2008 R2 SE. I already bought the second server with the same os online but havent installed
    sql 2012 yet. 
    I am thinking of backing up my databases and script out all the logins and linked servers first.
    Then upgrade the SQLServer 2008 R2 SE to 2012 SE. But can I upgrade it to a clustered instance directly? If yes then I can definitely add the other server to the cluster while installing sql.
    Can someone point me to the right steps for this upgrade process
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Direct  upgrade to cluster is not possible without installing SQL server in cluster aware mode. I would recommend you need to uninstall SQL server 2008 R2 and then create windows cluster between two nodes and then install SQL server in cluster aware
    mode.
    You are right with taking up complete backup of all databases with logins and jobs.
    Please refer below link there is an alternate solution

    I just upgraded from my 2008 MacBook to a new Macbook Pro. How do I get my time capsule to work on my new MacBook? I did data migration, but the time capsule did not pick it up. Any ideas?

    If you migrated all the info from time machine to your new MBP. The TM will usually ask to connect to the old backups.. sorry I am not sure is this what you want to do.. Personally I think you start a fresh backup.
    BTW Time Capsule does not do anything.. it is a dumb hard disk in a box.. it is TM that does everything.
    Look at B5 and B6 here about connecting to your backup.

  • 'In place' upgrade from 7.8 to 8.1

    Hi!
    I'm kicking off some planning around an upgrade from 7.8 to 8.1 / 8.2 Public Sector. Aside from the repository and non-repository code item work, I've started to think about the logistics of upgrading the actual software. Our plan is to keep the phyiscal architecture as is, as it's more than capable of supporting 8.1. We're running completely on Win2K3 with an Oracle 10g back end DB.
    Has anyone performed an 'in place' upgrade from 7.8 to 8.1? That is, starting cutover with 7.8 running on a set of phyiscal servers and finishing cutover with 8.1 running on the same set of machines?
    I'm thinking along the lines of a 2 phase cutover, taking a weekend to install software, configure new components (such as BI Publisher, as we're replacing Actuate at this point) and doing as much 'zero impact' work as possible. This will be an outage weekend, where we take 7.8 offline to do any work and bring it all back up at the end. The second phase would be the database upgrade, SRF, repository and non-repository element deployment, along with bringing up the 8.1 system.
    I have a few obvious thoughts, such as installing Gateway and Server components on machines already running 7.8 versions. CFG and siebns settings should be kept distinct in different installation folders, but does Siebel store anything in the registry? I'm also aware that the Gateway and Component ports will be the same / conflicting, but this shouldn't be a problem if only one set of services are running at any given time.
    I'm also concerned that we cannot do the Gateway and Server installation and config without having an 8.1 database already in place. Is that the case? If not, I'm hoping we can get the installations and component group allocation and configuration done without affecting the 7.8 service. We can then take full server backups and be ready to 'just' do a database upgrade on the second cutover date.
    Anyway, I'd really appreciate any thoughts or experiences that you all may have or have had on such a plan.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    From your message, I understand that you have 8 siebel servers and 2 for oracle database (Correct me if I am wrong). For the production environment you will need to remove all siebel components from at least one system each for gateway, siebel server and webserver. Do ensure that your database is properly backed up before proceeding with a db upgrade.
    Do note that removing one server each will be hitting your application very hard and hence it will be great if you proceed only during a long weekend or sometime giving you a good time duration to do the upgrade and do the system checks also. Also I would suggest to do siebel install and oracle db upgrade in one go. Please consult your db admin for the best way forward in this.
    Once your 8.1 installation is running do the import of all the integration points that you have for the older system and then verify their functioning with your installation. Only when everything you need appears to be working as per the previous system, shut down the older system and remove existing Siebel components and do the necessary installations.
    You may like to see this site "http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31104_02/books/SiebInstUNIX/SiebInstCOM_InstGateway3.html" , "http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E05553_01/books/SiebInstUNIX/SiebInstCOM_InstSiebSrvr3.html" and "http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E05553_01/books/SiebInstUNIX/SiebInstCOM_InstSWSE3.html" for pointers in case you are not comfortable removing siebel server components from your production environments.

  • Migration of AlwaysON database from WSFC 2008 + SQL2012 to WSFC 2012 + SQL2014

    Hello All,
    I have a 6 node GEO cluster, 4 nodes in primary site + 2 nodes in secondary site. In the primary node 03 and 04 has 2 pair of SQL instances default + named.
    I am planning to  move the named SQL pair from WSFC 2008 + SQL2012 TO WSFC 2012 + SQL2014. It has only one AG group with 4 TB of DBs.
    Do you guys have any experience and options for this migration. I am planning to go with  backup/restore. Let me share yours inputs.
    1. Backup/restore 2. cross cluster migration 3.Detach/attach 4. SAN migration
    Thanks!
    Muthukkumaran Kaliyamoorthy
    Helping SQL DBAs and Developers >>> SqlserverBlogForum

    Since WSFC does not support rolling upgrades, you will need to have another WSFC running Windows Server 2012/R2 (R2 is highly recommended due to the features available for maintaining high availability) and do a cross-cluster migration. Refer to this documentation
    for more details.
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj873730.aspx
    This requires that you're fairly comfortable with PowerShell.
    The main challenge here is dealing with hardware resources since you will need additional servers when moving into the new WSFC. You would have to run multiple instances on the same cluster node while you remove a node and repurpose it for WSFC 2012/R2.
    This is where proper planning is very important to make sure you are maximizing your resources while minimizing downtime. I cannot speak about the capabilities of your SAN as each vendor will have different features but my approach has always been dependent
    on SLAs and recovery objectives. Backup/restore will still be needed to synchronize your data from the old WSFC to the target WSFC.

    I am suggesting you to fresh install OS and SCVMM 2012 R2 in different server. Once you install and configured SCVMM 2012 R2 then disconnect One by one Hyper-V servers from SCVMM2008
    and add in SCVMM2012 R2.
    For testing purpose disconnect non critical Hyper-V server and added to SCVMM 2012 R2.
