Re: [Veritas-bu] Moving from solaris master server to windows

2010-12-30 Thread Saran Brar

You can perform below steps to achieve this:

1. First take a catalog backup on solaris master server and save the DR file in 
safe place
2. Build a windows master server with same hostname and ipaddress as for 
solaris one and DO NOT PUT ON NETWORK
3. Detach the any devices directly attached to solaris master server and attach 
with windows master server
4. Turn off the solaris master server and PUT WINDOWS MASTER SERVER ON NETWORK 
5. Install Netbackup on the new windows master server and scan for devices 
attached
6. Import catalog backup, here you will be asked for the DR file.
7. Test the network connectivity between master, media servers and clients
8. Try some test backups and restores.

 May of you are probably like why would you do this?  We have a pretty small 
 environment with only 2 clients.  Most of the remote clients I rsync the data 
 to a local server from there we backup to disk.
 
 Questions.  Currently have 6.5.2 running on solaris .. does anyone have any 
 insight to this process?  and the previous tapes?  Best to import them?
 Can I attached the LUNS I need directly to the master server and backup from 
 there to tape?

I do not think that it is so easy.

If you done it yourself, then ok.  But Symantec sells this service verrr
expencive.

I think that, at least, you have to change all catalog files from LF that
UNIX systems use to  CR/LF for windows.

 

This is a blog from someone that has done the opposite. Check it
