Whoops - missed this reply before sending my last one out.
The update is very easy, but don't forget to run "nbpushdata -add" on
the master afterwards, else your EMM will be empty and you'll have no
storage units or media.
Cheers

The Media Manager stuff is the only part that has changed.
From how everything was explained to me...
They pulled everything onto the Master, so the issues with SSO and vmd,
etc. will go away because there will be one host assigning drives and
allocating media for the entire environment, as opposed to each media
server running it's own database. The communication between Master and
Media servers will also be nowhere near as chatty, since the only time
communication will happen is the sending of meta-data for backups and
the assignation of backup drive and media allocation to the media
server.
The netbackup database (/usr/openv/netbackup/db/*) will not change at
all from it's current format (binary for the .f files and flat for the
image info files). The media manager database
(/usr/openv/volmgr/database/*) will become Sybase.
Has anyone done this upgrade yet? How easy/painful is it?

I realize that, but I was wondering how it stored the lists in the
database by default, as it is not a plain text OR flat file anymore.

You can compress the images catalog in the same manner that you could in
previous versions.
Is that what you're asking?

Does NBU 6 use compression on the databases (vs. flat files) - I have a
box with 50,000,000+ files, the flatfiles are huge. Anyone know?

From everything I've heard/read, the memory requirements are higher, but
not sure about CPU. Since all of the Media Manager stuff is running on
the Master and all the db info for the device and media side of things
will be housed only on the master in a Sybase DB, the new req's are
based on that. Obviously it requires more system resources to run a real
relational database as opposed to the old NBU flat file method.

I've heard that NetBackup 6 takes a fair bit more memory than 5. Has
anyone seen any Veritas documentation that supports this? How about CPU
requirements?
Thanks,
