Is this a Windows environment? I don't know if other OS's are different but in Windows you would have to decommission the Media Server from the original Master and then bring it on line as a new media server on the new Master. Make sure you expire all of the images associated with the media server before you remove it from the original config. Once that media server owns no tapes, you can take it home if you want.

Would this require formally decommissioning the 5.1 media server via the 5.1 master then reinstalling 6.5 media server under the new 6.5 Master? Or is there a faster, easier way to migrate while maintaining media and image integrity? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of WEAVER, Simon (external) Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2008 11:59 AM To: Martin, Jonathan Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Most recent stable release? Good discussion, as I am looking at "MIGRATION" from 5.1 Server to NEW Server 6.5.2 My onyl concerns I have in the back of my head is how to move a Media Server that is on 5.1 over to 6.5.2 Anyone done a migration from an old system to a new one? Not too worried about the old robot or catalog, as this is all being replaced. If need be, I will have to import. Some systems are SQL, Oracle based online media servers Thanks, Simon -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Martin, Jonathan Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2008 5:35 PM Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Most recent stable release? Yeah! Cheap shots at Symantec are reserved for those of us who have spent many restless nights fighting Netbackup. =P Just my .02 - Migrated several Windows 2000 5.1 environments to 6.0 MP4 and then to 6.5.1, 6.5.2 and 6.5.2a. Although there have been issues, I've only had to apply one engineering binary to one environment that had an issue with calendar backups. Maybe I'm just lucky (or maybe Symantec doesn't test on Non-Windows OS =P) but from my experience I think 5.1, 6.0 MP4, 6.51+ are all stable products. -Jonathan ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Ed Wilts Sent: Thu 8/21/2008 7:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Most recent stable release?
