I am installing Unity 5 next week (upgrade from 4.0(5))... and I want
to make sure my plan makes sense...

I am installing Unity 4.0(5) on the new Windows 2003 server they have
and restoring their DRT backup to it... and then running the Unity 5
upgrade.

I was wondering what will happen to their existing Unity if we do this
during normal business hours?

I'm assuming different name / IP?

UM?

Not that I have an answer...... but I will be doing this upgrade also
this summer.

I don't think you want to do that.  What happens once you get to the point
where you have to integrate with the partner server?  How would you know
which subscriber you would deliver a message to considering they will have
the exact same subscribers on both boxes?

When you do a DiRT restore, the new Unity will go into AD and assume
responsibility for the accounts.  I don't think you want to do that.

I haven't done a Unity 5 upgrade before.  But seeing how new it is, the
customer must be cool with taking on the added risk of a new product and so
should be cool with an extended downtime for the upgrade.  Also, I would
assume the Unity 5 docs discuss the upgrade options.

Let us know how it goes and how the new features work/behave........I
would think you should do it with the other box offline in case you need
to rollback as well.....
