Re: [Veritas-bu] Upgrade/Migrate master server from 5.0/Linux to6.0/Solaris
Thank you Paul! That's good news. Do you know if the databases (like the ones under /usr/openv/netbackup/db and /usr/openv/volmgr/database) are compatible between Linux and Solaris if they both run NBU 5.x?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Upgrade/Migrate master server from 5.0/Linux to6.0/Solaris
It looks like you are going from 5.x to 6.0, the catalog format changes and a new EMM is created which is part of the upgrade process. I suggest you consult the upgrade Guide. = Carl Stehman IT Distributed Services Team Pepco Holdings, Inc. 202-331-6619 Pager 301-765-2703 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Paul Keating [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/07/2007 01:46 PM To Rongsheng Fang [EMAIL PROTECTED], veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu cc Subject Re: [Veritas-bu] Upgrade/Migrate master server from 5.0/Linux to6.0/Solaris Moving from linux to solaris, the catalog format will be the same, so no problem there, as long as you keep the name of the old and new servers the same.

Databses are different between 5.x and 6.0 You will need to upgrade existing servers and convert your databases to the new EMM format.

Here is my thoughts: 1) if the catalog format is compatible between 5.x and 6.0, then I'll just copy /usr/openv/netbackup/db and /usr/openv/volmgr/database from the old Linux master to the new Solaris server. 2) if the catalog format is not compatible between 5.x and 6.0, then I'll upgrade the current 5.x Linux master to 6.0, then copy everything from /usr/openv/netbackup/db and /usr/openv/volmgr/database to the new Solaris mater running 6.0.

The new master server will be running NBU 6.0 on a Sun SPARC server (not yet sure which model at this point). So during the upgrade/migration, we'll be importing things from the linux box to the Solaris box, things that include policies, catalogs and other DBs. Has anybody done this before? What would be the best way to import the data including policies, catalogs, and other information from the old Linux master to the new Solaris master? I heard that this kind of migration was not supported by Veritas. Is that true?
