Will there be any down time between our current production version and Vireo 4 production?
TDL will install a fresh, new Vireo 4 instance on which you can adjust the settings and configuration to your liking. Your current production Vireo instance won’t be touched until you’re ready to pinpoint a time when we can migrate its content into the new production instance of Vireo 4. From that point forward after the migration, we’ll leave up your original instance for a month or more just in case, but the Vireo 4 instance will be your production system.
How long will migration take?
TDL’s developer estimates a week at the most to move into the new Vireo 4; though we suspect that earlier migrations will take longer and we will move more rapidly as we ramp up throughout the summer.
Will our institution need to engage with IT during the migration to Vireo 4?
Yes, to the extent that they will need to work with TDL to set up Shibboleth and assign any other necessary permissions.
Will library and graduate school staff have responsibilities during this transition?
Vireo 4 has some new features and changes that will require local setup and configuration. You can refer to the https://texasdigitallibrary.atlassian.net/l/c/1VBY8tF4 to prepare. Staff will also need to update any local guidance and procedural documentation.
TDL’s developer will engage with staff throughout the migration process to confirm that everything is set up as needed and working as expected.
