[Veritas-bu] Upgrade question
How successful will I be trying to go from 3.4 to 6? I assume I have to 3.4 - 4 - 5 - 6.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Upgrade question
I have no idea. But I thought I would mention that my plan to upgrade from 5.1-6.0 is to avoid the upgrade. This will be possible in my case because (1) we don't keep long term backups and (2) we're installing a new (Linux) server to replace our aging (Solaris) server. We'll run in parallel for a time. It's more work on the client end (to change backup server name(s)) and configuration end (licenses, policies, etc. must be reentered), but I *know* there will be no upgrade hassle and my new system will be independent of any strangeness that might be in my old catalog data. Might work for you ... might not. cheers, wayne David McWilliams wrote, in part, on 2007-06-28 1:10 PM: How successful will I be trying to go from 3.4 to 6?

Also, you should backup your entire environment before you do something like that so you can easily revert back if it doesn't work out so well. Also it'd be good to do it in stages, go to 4.5, sit for a week, then 5.1mp6, then sit for a week, etc. Justin.___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

3.4 - 4.5 was a cakewalk compared to 4.5 - 5.1 and 5.1 - 6.0 Jack L.
