Re: [Veritas-bu] Moving a master server to an existing media server + upgrade
Well I have just migrated a master server from a V440 to another V440 in order to put it in cluster. Upgrade from 5.1 MP6 to 6.0 MP4 was part of it. I upgraded first to 6.0 MP4 and then moved to the new server. As long as you keep the same name there is no real gotchas. But there are things to know especially with the EMM database in 6.0 : 1) Only move the datafiles. They start by EMM or NBDB. There is a technote about moving the EMM database to another server. 2) When you moved the datafiles you need to verify or ugrade it. create_nbdb will dot it for you. Originally it is intended to create an empty NBDB but I found you can use it to validate and upgrade. In order to do so you need to start the rdbms without loading the database. Otherwise flat files can be copied over Greg On 9/18/07, Wessam Aly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hey all, > > Netbackup 5.1 MP4 > I currently have a master server on hpux 11.11 and a media server on aix.

[Veritas-bu] Moving a master server to an existing media server + upgrade
Hey all, Netbackup 5.1 MP4 I currently have a master server on hpux 11.11 and a media server on aix. I want to move the master server to an itanium machine (hpux 11.23) and upgrade to 6.5. Problem is, I don't have enough time since fixing the inconsistencies of the database with support takes a lot. What I want to do is comission the "new master server" only as a media server and start backup right away. Eventually I want to move the database from the old master server to the new master server and make the new machine the master.. Then decommision the old hpux server. I'm planning to upgrade to 6.0MP4 sometime after I run the setup of new machine as media server. Then when I move to new machine as master, I will upgrade to 6.5. Is all that do-able ?
