Possible Hardware Setups for Upgrading
Possible hardware setups are from one to four machines.
A four-machine setup can be used, with each installation on its own machine. More commonly, however, the two development installations share a machine. Because there is usually some traffic between these two installations during preparation, sharing a machine is convenient.
A three-machine setup is the recommended minimum, as follows:
Development (both old and new versions)
Test
Production
A two-machine setup is possible, as follows:
Development (possibly including a test installation)
Production
The two-machine setup is not recommended because the test installation shares a machine with development, so it will not mimic your production installation as closely. In addition, the more installations on a machine, the more chance for error.
A single machine setup is possible, but not recommended, since you may accidentally work in the wrong installation and damage production.
Note:  There is no remote installation procedure for Actian X. You must copy the distribution files to the machine you are installing Actian X on.
