Re: [Veritas-bu] install_client_files over ssh using a differentport
The way this is done in 6.5 is twofold (I'm going by memory here)(. First, there's the ssh opeino which does require root since it does the installation. Secondly, there's the scp option. scp simply copies the files over using a username and password that you provide and gives you instructions on how to do the install when the copy is complete (typically you would ssh to the system as yourself, sudo to root, and then run the install script). In your case, you could edit the config file and tell it what username to use. Then scp over your public key to the target system. Then when the install script runs, it will do the copy but likely fail on the install if you're not a root user. You now see one reason (of many) why people want to stay close to current with NetBackup releases. You're having to work around limitations that were addressed in product releases last year. .../E On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 3:25 AM, WALLEBROEK Bart [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: Ed, Thanx for the info.

[Veritas-bu] NetBackup Migration 5.1 - 6.5
Hi all, I am weighing up the pros and cons to either do an in place upgrade or migration. I just wanted to know if anyone had any pros or cons to this. The Environment constsits of 10+ SAN SSO Media Servers, 1 Master, 1 Robot. In place should be easy, but Symantec are identifying many, many issues with the current environment, that concerns me that the upgrade will not go clean. Starting afresh for the Master means I will migrate clients and policies over from the old system to the new one. Just a couple of quick questions: 1) My License key is for upgrade. Would it still work if 5.1 was not installed on the clean new Server? 2) for the SAN Media Servers, any cons I need to be aware of when upgrading them and pointing them to the new Master Server 3) Does this violate the license agreement by using the new key on new clean hardware? What if I turn off the Master, install 5.1 on the new Server with my current license, and then use the upgrade license key for NBU 6.5 Apprecaite the comments and advice.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup Migration 5.1 - 6.5
I recently pondered the same questions and chose to build a new environment with 6.5 rather than upgrading the existing 5.1 servers. I can't speak for the SAN media servers as we don't have any but if you are upgrading to 6.5 you will need to install 5.1 on the new servers install your license keys and then upgrade to 6.5. Chances are your license keys will not install on a virgin 6.5 server if they are 5.x license keys. As for question 3. I can't imagine how Symantec could ever consider that a violation if you choose to upgrade via a clean install on new hardware. What if your existing server failed, could you be expected to buy new licenses if you had to rebuild on new hardware. As I see it I probably saved Symantec a bunch of support calls by starting clean on a new server. john On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 9:35 AM, WEAVER, Simon (external) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I am weighing up the pros and cons to either do an in place upgrade or migration.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Windows 2008 Client
What I've heard is that the 6.5.1 client won't properly backup the system registry and cannot restore the system into a bootable state because it doesn't understand the lack of a boot.ini. From what little testing I did here backups work but not restores. YMMV but I wouldn't put anything important out there unless you are sure you can restore. Other suggestions: Use snapshot technologies to pickup the data (VCB, SAN etc..) or use Microsoft's Data Protection Manager to backup the files to a fileshare and pick them up from there as .bkf files.
