Move IFS to a new server

We have IFS App9 running on a Windows 2012 server but the business has decided that we need to upgrade the server to Win 2022 as 2012 is no longer suported.
They want to build a new server and then MOVE IFS over to it.

Is there a way to move the entire existing IFS build from one server to another?

Not just the IFS_HOME but also the entire Middleware software as well?

Thanks

Hi Roger,

Please note that IFS Applications 9 does not support Windows Server 2022.
On the Middle Tier, Windows Server 2016 is supported from UPD 11 and up.

Best regards.

Hi Ben
Thanks for that.

We will look to use 2016 instead. Maybe that will just update the server in situe.

We attempted to upgrade to 2016 and it failed with a message stating we should reinstall IFS instead.
To do that, we will need new media as we are on App9 Upd17 Rel 83 and we don’t have media for this.
Is there a way to obtain media to allow us to install a new Application server.
At the least, I could copy the instances across but would still need to install the Framework
Any thoughts?
