I prefer to go the other way, migrate to new platform first, then upgrade
NBU. The migration is more problematic, IMO.
Either way you go, I suggest letting it cook for a period of time so you
can work out any kinks.

Hi,
Moving NetBackup database version 6.x form or to a RedHad Linux system requires
more steps than any UNIX/SUSE to UNIX/SUSE transition.
NetBackup 7.x treats all UNIX/LINUX systems the same way. That’s why I prefer
to upgrade first.
All,
What is the best way to implement encryption for tape with LT04 tape drives. I
have seen that some of you are using KMS. Is this the best method? I need to
make sure that my tapes are encrypted with 3DES. Is the KMS function included
with NBU 6.5.5 in Windows 2003 64 bit?

Uli,
Can you tell us a little bit more about your hardware.
Which vendor makes your tape drives and tape library?
Out experience is with IBM lto4 and lto5 tape drives in IBM 3584 (aka TS3500)
tape libraries.
I believe that the tape drive support should be pretty much the same across
vendors,
Hello
The IBM library managed code for the 3584 allows one to control the encryption
with volser ranges. We did not want to go that route, so we control it with
netbackup volume pool numbers. The low volume pool numbers do not trigger the
encryption at the tape drive, the higher ones do. So
If you have Data Domain and want to get more granular information on
compression, in addition to running “ost lsu show compression “ or “filesys
show compression” from the Data Domain itself, you can also run “filesys show
compression” with additional arguments “[filename] [last n {hours |
Very useful info.
Is the IBM solution free of charge or you have to pay from the EKM software?
I'm asking about the software, not the implementation.
Thanks

You have to pay to have encryption turned on for the tape library. This is a
fixed one time charge. Which can be bundled in like the alms feature code.
The older ekm java base software is free on an IBM platform, aix, mvs, os400,
linux.
The newer Tivoli software is not free.
