[Networker] Upgrading Networker & moving to a new server
2008-03-04 06:25:03
Morning all,
We are running Networker Server version 6.x on an old, but maintained,
server and now wish to move to new hardware and upgrade to Networker 7.4.
I am thinking we need to upgrade to 7.4 on the old server before
transferring to the new hardware, but have a few questions:
. should we be able to get an enabler to go straight from 6.x to 7.4
or is it advisable to go through stages. (We have been on maintenance
throughout but currently only have the enablers to 7.1)
. I have read somewhere that do not need an enabler to move to new
server hardware if you are maintaining the same hostname and IP
address, is this the case?
. Is it possible to restore the client indexes if the server
architecture is changing, or do the tapes need to be re-scanned
using scanner?
(We have successfully tested recovery of the media data from a
backup created using 'savegrp -O')
Please no flaming about running a old versions of Networker. One has
to fix the broken before getting to fix the working but old!
Many thanks for any advice
Steve
