Bonjour ,
We are currently running networker 721 on HP Superdome Partition
and want to downgrade our dome complex on HP RP box .
I don't know yet if the networker server will be upgrade from 721
to 7.3
during transition , but I know that the target server (HP-RP) will
keep
the same @IP et same hostname that the current server (DOME
partition) .
I don't know if the licence code use internal mac@ , and my
question is
: can i run networker on the target host with my current
licencing , or
should I contact my local dealer to obtain new code .
(same question if I move from 721 to 7.3 )
As the target server keep the same @ip/hostname than the current ,
can I
just keep too my /nsr content without "migration" ?
I encourage you to read Legato's information on server migration. Not
that I am trying to shill any business for Legato, but this is a good
time to verify that your update and technical support agreement with
Legato is in place, or with your preferred Legato reseller.
Check out the following technical bulletins (especially the first one):

As far as your question about migrating to NetWorker 7.3 is
concerned, I strongly urge you to avoid doing that migration at the
same time you migrate to new hardware. In fact, unless you have a
dire need for any new functionality in 7.3, you're better off tabling
your plans to migrate to it until at least the summer or winter in
order to give Legato's developers more time to get the bugs out of
that version that have been reported to them and discussed on this
list. If you migrate to new hardware and 7.3 concurrently, you're
asking for a whole lot of grief because if something goes wrong, you
may have trouble isolating the problem to the new version or the new
hardware. Better to treat software and hardware migrations as
entirely separate projects.
