We are going from NB5.0MP5 to 6.0 MPX next
month.
Due to many issues - including corrupt images, massive
policy changes, and most importantly, the perceived difficulty
involved with migrating from Windows 2003 to Solaris 10
environments, I've decided to leave the existing server online and
just zone off the HBAs from our Storagetek. If I need to restore, zone off
the new server and boot the old box.
Is this too simplistic an approach? We hardly ever do
restores from tape. 99% of restores take place from snapshots on our
NetApps gear.
Thanks,
Hadrian

I would discourage
doing it this way unless you don’t want to keep history – basically if you want
to start from scratch. There were a number of
Catalog and other changes between 3.4 and 4.x, then again in 5.x and then again
in 6.x. It is recommended that you upgrade to each new level to allow the
software to actually upgrade the various parts that were changed.
If you don’t care about
the stuff you have backed up with 3.4 and don’t need to ever recover it, blow it
away and start from scratch. A clean install is always less troublesome than an
upgrade especially when moving to 6.x. Current NBU version is
6.0 MP3 so I would recommend that. MP3 fixed a few things and broke a few
things, but that is pretty normal. Cheers,
