Hi,
Looking to install NetWorker 7.x on a new Solaris box and wanted to keep
same hostname as old Solaris server (6.1.1) to avoid any problems with
media database, etc. Wanted to test out new server but keep old server
in place until testing can be completed. Is is possible to use 'uasm' to
make a copy of the bootstrap, or the equivalent of the media database,
on current server and then recover to replacement (new) server, assuming
both servers are running the same flavor of Unix, in this case Solaris?
On old server (runs 6.1.1 on Solaris 2.8)
-----------------------------------------
uasm -s /nsr/mm > somefile
copy somefile to new server
Stop NetWorker
On new server (Solaris 2.9)
----------------------------
Modify /etc/hosts so new server has alias same as old server host name
(/etc/nsswitch.conf is set to look in files first).
Install Networker 7.x
Stop NetWorker
Rename /nsr/res and whatever else first
uasm -r < somefile
Start NetWorker
Not sure if I would need to delete the old server client and recreate
since I want it to have the same name. Some time ago, Legato recommended
maintaining the same host name for consistency when moving to a new
server? If this would work, should I shut down the old server before
running the 'uasm' command even if I know nothing is running? I'm trying
to avoid having to move the tape library on the current server over to
the new server to run mmrecov.
Thanks,
George
