Greg,

Your last bit is correct. What got me to upgrade our one media server
was that nbpushdata would not work on the master after it was upgraded
but before upgrading the media server. It kept complaining about not
being able to find the media server.

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.

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?
