Moving into Linux Enterprise- Doubts/questions

[María Viola Deambrosis <mviola@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 

Hi,

We have a production Database Server, with a professional Red Hat O.S installed.

 

Here is detail information about it:

 

Hardware:

·         DELL Power Edge 2600 

 

Database

·         Informix Dynamic Server Version 9.30.UC3

 

O.S

·         Red Hat 7.3

·         Kernel: Linux 2.4.18-3smp / Apr 18 07:27:31 2002 i686

·         Glib: 2.2.5-34

 

We are planning on moving from the Professional version into the Enterprise Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0.

Since the business is a 7x24x365 one, and the DBSrv is the production one, we have few questions/doubts:

• moving from a Professional into an Enterprise version, is it just an upgrade or it requires a  "re-installation"
• how long will it take to do the job 
• do you have any contingency plan or strategy to suggest
• is there any guaranty of full compatibility between both versions?

Thanks for your assistance

 

María
