Hi.
 
I would install Netbackup on the new machine and use the the old name (you
can put it in the host file). Then I would run a bprecover, or copy
/usr/openv/netbackup/db and /usr/openv/volmgr/database and run tpautoconf -a
to set up the drives..
 
I dont't know if a simple copy of /usr/openv will work since NBU installs
packages (NBU 4.5 and above I think)..
 
Regards,
Jim

Joe:
 
Here are a few things I would do if I were in your place. Take what works
and pitch the rest...
 
I would build out the new master with a different name to start with. That
way you can get it on the network and transfer the appropriate data from the
old to the new.
 
NBU is nice in that all of the executables and libraries are contained
within the base dir. Install NBU in the new host (mostly for the package
info database - if you want it). Remove the contents on the new host leaving
the base dir. Share out /usr/openv on the old. Mount it on the new and use
cpio or tar to copy over the files within /usr/openv. Make sure you get the
rc scripts properly placed on the new master. Take the old master to
single-user and change the host name. Drop it to the ok prompt. Change the
host name on the new master and reboot it. You will need to manually
configure your devices. You can use tpautoconf -a
(/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tpautoconf) if you feel lucky. tpconfig if you do
not.
 
Files to change a host name on Solaris:
/etc/nodename
/etc/inet/hosts
/etc/net/ti*/hosts
 
This was not penned with a lot of thinking, but hopefully I have given you
enough to get it started.
 
HTH and good luck,
 
Bill

Well.............. 

We are now in a fire fighting mode....... 

There are jobs hanging all over the place!  And it looks like a issue with
the env and not really a NBU issue.... 

We have the following env: 

1 Sun 2.6 master 220r 2 gig ram 2 cpu(s) controlling 16 media servers.......


We have available a 440r 8 gig ram 4 cpu(s)..... 

I need a start on how to move NBU from the 220r to the 440r.... 

Note:  Keeping the same hostname..... 

Joe Despres...........
