RE: [Veritas-bu] Upgrade 5.1 MP2 to 6.0

Hi Jim

thanks for this. My main concern was whether the nbpushdata command would need the same amount of disk space that my catalog takes up - presently its at 30gb and I have 25gb space. So did not know for sure what would happen!

HI Simon,

 

The nbpushdata command popultes the EMM database from the "old" Media manager database   files. The data in the previous files remains but only as read only, all changes take place in the EMM.

I don't really know if there is a change in the size of the database but if there is it should not be a singnificant one.

 

Each media server being updated needs the command to be run, but keep in mind that after the update of the master server, if you don't upgrade the media servers at the same time but choose to do so at a later time, you have to run a command on the MAster server (see installation giude)

 

Regards,

Jim

Guys

I am looking at the possibility of upgrading from a pure Windows environent (1 Master, 2 SAN Media Servers with SSO all over fibre).

 

Present, NBU is 5.1 MP2 for all devices.

 

Reading the NBU Install guide, I am a little confused, and now concerned about the nbpushdata command. Also, my Database has been moves from its original location (C:) to a new drive.

 

So, when this command is run, what happens? Does it simply move the DB into its EMM Database - Does it use up more disk space or does it simply convert the current DB.

 

Also, in my scenario and seeing as my 2 SAN Servers are on mission critical boxes, would I still need to run this command as well on each SAN Server?

Thanks

Regards
