We are using Bigfix 7.1 for OS patching of Windows 2000 & 2003 servers and Linux servers. Since Bigfix 7.1 is not supporting Windows 2008 R2 Core servers we are forced to upgrade the Bigfix 7.1 to Bigfix 8.0

We required the following information before doing the up gradation.

  1. OS required for running the Bigfix server & console.

  2. H/W required (min memory, disk size, CPU,)

  3. Data base.

Also please share the step by step procedure how to migrate from Bigfix 7.1 to Bigfix 8.0.

thanks in advance
