Hi,

 

We're planning an upgrade of the operating system on our NetWorker
server from Solaris 9 to Solaris 10.  We also will be moving the NW
server to new hardware.  My plan is to do both steps at once like this:

 

-          Set up new server running Solaris 10

-          Install NW server software

-          Unmount /nsr (on a SAN disk) from old NW server running
Solaris 9

-          Change hostnames/IP addresses so that the name/IP of the
backup server does not change

-          Adjust SAN zones so new server has access to disk 

-          Adjust SAN zones so new server has access to the tape library

-          Mount /nsr onto new NW server running Solaris 10

-          Bring up NW and test

 

The same NetWorker version (v7.2.2) will be used on both servers and
I'll be doing a host transfer for the licenses.  Does anyone see any
problems with this procedure?  Has anyone done anything similar?  

 

Thanks.

Teresa
