Just over a month later the topic came up again, and since there were no volunteers willing to try the procedure I agreed to give it a try. At the time the new server wasn’t yet available and no one seemed interested in testing out my theory. My primary concern was around possible conflicts with the extra recovery steps that are included in the HP Server Recovery image, which attempt to restore some registry keys and reload the Photo Webshare. I first had the idea in early February to use Server Recovery to ease the migration process in response to a user who was asking about ways to migrate from the EX470/EX475 server to an EX485/EX487. Both of these methods are safe and effective, yet very slow and potentially difficult if you don’t have an external drive to use for shuttling data. The safe response has been to either manually copy all your data off the old server onto external drives and then copy the data onto the new server, or to set up both servers on the network with different host names and copy your data across the network.
#Remove data from hp mediasmart server ex470 upgrade
It wasn’t long after the EX485/EX487 HP MediaSmart Servers were announced back in December that users began asking what would be the best way to upgrade and move all their precious data from the previous generation EX470/EX475 to the new servers. If you try this, you do so at your own risk.
I have to note that while this process worked for me, it is not a supported upgrade process from either Microsoft or HP.
