Upgrade SIM 5.2 to 5.3 SP1 if still running SQL 2000

NJK-Work — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 20:43:04 GMT

I am still running SIM 5.2 on SQL 2000 and cannot upgrade to SQL 2005/2008 due to various reasons. I thought I read somewhere that SIM 5.3 is not supported on SQL 2000 but I can't remember where. Does anyone know if I can upgrade 5.2 to 5.3 SP1 with a SQL 2000 backend?

Thanks
Nelson

I dont think so. The installer will not proceed if SQL 2005 or above is not detected.

What about all the systems and servers which are integrated in hp sim? Does the upgrade automatically migrate them???

Hello.

I don't agree. My test SIM server was initially installed with SIM 5.0 and upgraded successfully with all the new versions when they were released until the current one which is 5.3 SP1 and I never changed the SQL version which is still 2000 (8.00.818 SP3).

Regards.
