Virtualising and upgrading exisitng PI server - any recommendations?

$

Hi all,

 

I'm looking at upgrading my existing PI Server (version 3.4.378 I think its at) to PI2010/2012 and virtualising the server at the same time. Has anyone got a recommendations on how best to do this. I'm not after a full discussion on virtualisation or upgrading, but more something along the lines of possible upgrade/virtualisation methods, i.e. Do I:

  1. virtualise my existing PI server then upgrade after that?, or
  2. create a clean PI 2010/2012 server on a virtual system, and then port across the exiting PI server's configuration and data?, or
  3. upgrade the existing server to PI2010/2012 and then virtualise the system?

The plan I have been suggested is option 2: create a clean PI2010/2012 install on a virtual machine, then move over the PI config and data. Are there many pitfalls with this? Has anyone done a similar migration and know of any pitfalls/problems that could bite me? Is there a better way to do the upgrade/virtualisation?

 

Many thanks!
