Re: [Veritas-bu] Upgrade NetBackup from 6.5.6 (x86) to 7.1.0.4 (x64)
Very Nice Kevin Thank you for sharing. Others can also keep as this can be quite instrumental in migrations.

Here’s the general steps I carried out. 1. The master server was running 6.5.5 on Windows 2003 so I first upgraded it to 7.0.1, NBUMServer1.2. I had a second server with windows 2008 x64 R2 with a different name but no Netbackup installation, NBUMServer2.3. I then stopped the NBUMServer1 services and disabled them in case someone tried to start them.4. Rename NBUMServer1 to NBUMServer35. Assign new IP address to NBUMServer36. Reboot NBUMServer37. Delete the NBUMServer1 Active Directory account DNS entry.8. Make sure the IP address of NBUMServer1 is free (ping –a NBUMServer3_ipaddress should not name a server)9. Change IP address on NBUMServer2 to NBUMServer1_ipaddress10. Rename the NBUMServer2 to NBUMServer1.11. Reboot the new NBUMServer1.12. Connect SAN drive with Catalog backup to NBUMServer1.13. Install Netbackup 7.0 x64 Master Server onto new NBUMServer1 box14. Patch to 7.0.115. Stop all Netbackup Services16. Perform a Catalog restore from the SAN Drive17. Add Media server list back into Netbackup (Host Properties Master Servers Servers Media Servers)18. Reboot NBUMServer119. Install Java and copy conf file from NBUMServer320. Copy over hosts file from NBUMServer321. Run nbtstat –R22. Restart Netbackup Services At that point everything came up on the New Hardware as the original Master Server Name and with everything still intact. You could then connect both the ATL’s and the VTL to the new master server and have access to all of the old backups for restores. Hope that helps.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Upgrade NetBackup from 6.5.6 (x86) to 7.1.0.4 (x64)
Here is a back of napkin idea that may be worthwhile. NBU upgrade from 6.5 to 7.0 and 7.0 to 7.1 were not very painful at all in my experience. On of the new things you get in 7.1 I think is SLPs that can duplicate images to a different master server. You may be able to upgrade you 6.5 env to 7.1.0.4 and have a fresh clean build of your new environment (May help to clean up some annoyng naming conventions or policy names or configurationg that annoy you with your existing config). You could then find a way to get your images you want to migrate to the new env into an SLP that duplicates to another master or otherwise copy the images between masters.
