Subject: Domino 7 to 8.5 Upgrade

Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Domino Server

Technical Area: Install

Platform: Windows 2003 server

Release: 8.5

Reproducible: Always

I have a Domino 7 server which I'm trying to upgrade to 8.5. This server has Domino Administrator installed and Lotus Quickr

I have used VMware convertor to take an image of the live box and running this in a vmware environment seperate to our live LAN. In the test environment I can verify domino is working correctly. I can test logging onto Domino admin start\stop tasks, access quickr places, test HTTP all OK.

I've run the various pre upgrade tasks such (fixup, compact, updall & ammend the the ini file for ods, remove corefiles (dlls) (remove server_session & server_max entrys from notes.ini)

When I run the domino server 8.5 upgrade domino server starts as expected. As soon as I upgrade the design the domino server seems to freeze (no cursor) and when I try and open Domino admin I get the message saying checking for server on last known address followed by remote server is no longer responding.

Any ideas? Suggestions?
