Hello,

I am building out a new Hyper-V cluster.

Within this cluster I will have two IIS boxes on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 running IIS

I currently have a DNN 5.X site that I stopped upgrading because the process was miserable due to the high probability of upgrade failure, unknow "upgradability status" of many different modules, etc.,. Unfortunately, this is my current production site.

I am thinking to start over with DNN6, build a new website and use no third party modules, thus eliminating any upgrade pains other than those caused by DNN itself.

I have two questions:

-Where can I find information about supported and most importantly tested high availability options (farms, clusters, ARR), etc.. and if possible, some kind of deployment guide. After an hour or so of googling, I am empty handed and I have to assume that no web platform would be without high availability deployment options these days.

- As I have only one external IP address, I see no way around bringing my old DNN site (5.x) to the new servers. The existing server is also IIS7 so I assume that I can pretty much XCOPY deploy it?. Are there any compatibility issues  with havintg DNN6 plus an older version of DNN on the same server?

Hi Berney,

 The DotNetNuke wiki does have a article which provides documentation for using DNN in a web farm environment. You can read it and download a PDF at the following: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Wiki/Page/Webfarms.aspx

 Hope that helps!
