Notes:

If your system is running a release of Message Networking prior to 1.1, you must first upgrade the system to Message Networking 1.1. Contact a technical support representative for information on upgrading to Message Networking 1.1. If you are not sure what version of the software is running, select Utilities > Software Management > Messaging System Software Display and check the version number of the audixcd line. This is the version of the Message Networking software running on your system.
If you are not sure which Message Networking Release 2.0 server to migrate to, see Comparison of Message Networking Release 2.0 servers.

The following table provides the estimated time required for each upgrade or migration. The times provided for backups are approximations. The time required for your system might be longer or shorter depending on the system size. The estimated times provided assume max capacities for each system.
