Once schedule is confirmed

Provision an environment compliant with the requirements for the Voyager version that will be installed/upgrade in the new environment.  Your IT will install the base OS and set up the environment on the new server to the point that we can log in.  Root access is required.  This should be completed by IT at least two weeks before the scheduled server move.

For hardware and software (including OS) requirements, see Installation and Upgrade Requirements.pdf for your version under Voyager > Implementation Guides > [version]
