Hi!

Its not really a problem to upgrade to 4.5.
The only thing to mention is the new binary format of the database.

We executed "cat_convert" to convert the ascci-DB to binary format and it
run for 72hours.
Also the size of our DB was blown up from 30 to 50GB.

Thats because the binary format cannot use compression.
(binary is smaller than uncompressed ascii, but if the compressed ascii is
much smaller!)

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU 4.5 Upgrade Experiences


I'm planning on upgrading from NBU Data Center 3.4 to NBU Data Center 4.5
within a couple of months.  I've been hearing from our Veritas contacts that
the upgrade is extremely difficult and Veritas consulting services should be
used.  Is the upgrade really that difficult?  The NBU 3.4 upgrade was a
piece of cake.  For those of you who have recently gone through the NBU 4.5
upgrade please share your experiences.  

Any and all responses are much appreciated.

Thanks,
