David,

So you did not disable the media servers prior to upgrade right? Because
the vmoprcmd -deactive_host doesn't exist in 5.X. Besides turning off
policies and ensuring no jobs run, did you do anything to "disable" the
5.x media server prior to upgrading the master? Hmm, as I look further
in my printout manual for upgrading I see that my notes indicate I
already called Veritas on this last year and their support said to
ignore Step "3. Deactivate all media servers".
=20
So you did the deactivation AFTER the upgrade but before the nbpushdata
on the master, then activated the media servers and ran it there?
Wonder how it will work on media servers that aren't upgraded at the
same time. Looks like the latest version of the 6.0 install guide is
still Sept 2005.

Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 6 upgrade.
In windows system it is an upgrade. The installation guide isn't quite
correct. We just did our system, win2k master/media and win2k3 media,
SSO to a scaler 2000 with 10 drives. NBUPUSHDATA sort of works. We had
to upgrade both boxes to 6, then disable the media server before the
command would work on the master/media server. Then we enabled the media
server and ran the command there. That works. Another disconcerting
thing we have found is the client software on win2k boxes. It overwrites
the server list so if you don't include all the console type machines
you will have to go in after the fact and add them. It did keep the
media server list. On w2k3 clients it seems to keep the server list
intact.

I haven't really looked into procedures.
Is there an "upagrade" procedure per se, or is it more along the
lines of a clean install followed by importing the catalog backup?
