AFAIK there's no way to merge indexes from one NetWorker system into
another, other than scanner followed by nsrck -L 7. Your upgrade shortcut
should have worked, though, as long as you followed EMC's procedure for
changing the name of a NetWorker server. I'm also assuming you didn't try to
move from a "big endian" system to a "little endian" or vice-versa (like
Solaris <-> Windows). That won't work either.
