2.1 Cleaning Up the Old Version 2 Environment
Before bringing up the RTR Version 3 environment, you will need to shut down RTR Version 2 on client systems, let the RTR journal file clear, and then bring up RTR Version 3. This should be part of the process you use in your planned migration. See Section 2.6 for more information on checking journal files.
