[Veritas-bu] Netbackup migration from 5.0 to 6.5, with server name change
Hello, very new to the NBU world. This is my first post here. I need to migrate/upgrade our existing 5.0MP3 netbackup to 6.5. Here is my setup Old server: Netbackup 5.0MP3 (running on a single linux box) connected to a SCSI tape library. New Server: Netbackup 6.5.2 on linux, 1 master, and 1 media server New servers will have new sernames, from what I have gathered so far here is the rough plan. 1. install NBU 5.1 on one master and one media server (my understanding is db/catalogs file are unchanged from 5.0 to 5.1) 2. add the FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = oldservername newservername to bp.conf *import the master server catalog files from 5.0MP3 to the 5.1 Master server. then *import media server catalog files from 5.0MP3 to the 5.1 media server. Question: since I won't be connecting the tape library to the new media just yet, should I use recover or import?) 3. Verify it works, then upgrade from 5.1 to 6.5 Are these the correct steps to do the job? Any suggestion?

[Veritas-bu] Netbackup migration from 5.0 to 6.5, with server name change
I'm still worried about two things, architecturely I'm changing from one single master/media to two seperate server (one master and one media), in additional the new master and media server name is completely new. besides bpmedia -movedb, and adding the FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER to the bp.conf. Do I need to do anything else to make this work? Kai Xie [quote="Haberl, Max"]Hi Kai, 1. correct, no change in the image db since 4.5 up to 6.5 2. i would do a "bpmedia -movedb" afterwards, cause the new master will always try to connect to the old master server to update the mediaDB. This would take a while, but you'll get a clean setup then. But my proposal would be to make a plain 5.0MP3 installation on the new server and then copy /opt/openv from the old server to the new one. Change the bp.conf and run the box. this should work and is probably faster. 3. exactly Cheers Max +-- |This was sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [EMAIL PROTECTED] +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Changing the name of a master server is NOT supported. Unless you want to do some significant manual surgery to internal undocumented NetBackup files, you MUST maintain the original name of the master server. Changing media server names is supported by decommissioning the old one (this procedure is documented) and then adding a new one. .../Ed Ed Wilts, RHCE, BCFP, BCSD, SCSP, SCSE [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

We have changed the name of our master server, however to Netbackup it is still the original name, which we have achieved through the use of DNS Kate -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of kxie Sent: Thursday, 4 December 2008 3:04 AM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup migration from 5.0 to 6.5,with server name change I'm still worried about two things, architecturely I'm changing from one single master/media to two seperate server (one master and one media), in additional the new master and media server name is completely new. besides bpmedia -movedb, and adding the FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER to the bp.conf.
