We are going from NB5.0MP5 to 6.0 MPX next month.
Due to many issues - including corrupt images, massive policy changes,
and most importantly, the perceived difficulty involved with migrating
from Windows 2003 to Solaris 10 environments, I've decided to leave the
existing server online and just zone off the HBAs from our Storagetek.
If I need to restore, zone off the new server and boot the old box.
Is this too simplistic an approach? We hardly ever do restores from
tape. 99% of restores take place from snapshots on our NetApps gear.
Thanks,
Hadrian Baron

Patrick,
I would discourage doing it this way unless you don't want to keep
history - basically if you want to start from scratch.
There were a number of Catalog and other changes between 3.4 and 4.x,
then again in 5.x and then again in 6.x. It is recommended that you
upgrade to each new level to allow the software to actually upgrade the
various parts that were changed.
If you don't care about the stuff you have backed up with 3.4 and don't
need to ever recover it, blow it away and start from scratch. A clean
install is always less troublesome than an upgrade especially when
moving to 6.x.
Current NBU version is 6.0 MP3 so I would recommend that. MP3 fixed a
few things and broke a few things, but that is pretty normal.
Cheers,
dave
