You should get new license keys but you don't really need them on media servers. On master servers, you will not get all of the functionality you're entitled to (BMR, client encryption) until you install updated license keys. Play it safe and get all of the new license keys as soon as you can - the longer you wait, the harder it gets (spoken from experience here!) > > -- > *From:* Renee Carlisle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > *Sent:* Tuesday, September 02, 2008 12:35 PM > *To:* WEAVER, Simon (external); VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu > *Subject:* RE: Migration Problem / Question Please > > If it is just for restore purposes, why don't you just force all restores > to go through the master server?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Migration Problem / Question Please
Renee, Not looking at this long term at all. Sooner I can move the SSO SAN boxes over the 6.5, the better. Not possible to made SAN Media Servers as clients at this stage. Ideally it would only be for restores, but it would only be short term. When upgrading a Media Server, will the 6.5 setup still require a new license key for EACH media Server, or is it clever enough to know this is going to be an upgraded box?

While you technically can run a 5.1 media server in a 6.5 environment, you wouldn't want to for very long. Personally, in an SSO environment..I wouldn't want to do it at all. If you did...I think you would need to build your new env as 5.1 including all the SSO media servers and then upgrade the new environment.

I have been unable to find any help on this, and wanted to see if anyone could advise or shed any light on this. Current Environment 5.1 MP5 Master + Many SSO SAN Media Servers I am geting a brand new system, all licensed and new hardware / robot for 6.5. At this stage, due to issues, I am not planning to "upgrade" 5.1 at this time. I want to migrate the clients to the new system, and I have a plan to do this for the majority of the clients, except the SAN SSO Clients. My question is as follows: If I have a SAN SSO Media Client at 5.1 MP5, could I simply "point" this client to my new 6.5 Master Server? I ask this, because during the migration, there may be a need for a restore. As its current Master is 5.1, it would be good if I could simply restore back from the 5.1 environment, but backup to the new 6.5 environment.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Migration Problem / Question Please
If it is just for restore purposes, why don't you just force all restores to go through the master server? While you technically can run a 5.1 media server in a 6.5 environment, you wouldn't want to for very long. Personally, in an SSO environment..I wouldn't want to do it at all. If you did...I think you would need to build your new env as 5.1 including all the SSO media servers and then upgrade the new environment.
