Short Info to you all,

I upgraded 9 installations of Netabckup 6.0 MP3 to MP4.
I also upgraded NOM from MP2A to MP4.

For the Netbackup installations:

OS was AIX5.3 and Windows 200x - Master and Media Servers involved
NBU looks quiet stable to me, all of my major bugs seem to be fixed.

For NOM

NOM is working better, but there is still room for improvement.
The servers that are on MP 4 already behave better in NOM. The are online and 
it seems the partially online thing seems to be gone.
Alerts work smoothly. Reports are looking OK and are working well. There is 
room for improvement with the filter settings.

Did somebody of you did also MP4 testing?
Please share your results.

Regards

Martin

Hi Bobby
Stands to reason really, as the 6.0 Database is completely re-written in a 
brand new format - so if anything, I would definetely have an offline copy of 
the catalog, tape catalog and probably a snapshot image of the Server as well.

According to the Tech notes, the only way to get back to 5.1 is to uninstall 
6.0, put back all 5.1 software and patches, then install the last 5.1 catalog 
backup.

In other words, you will loose all backups done with 6.0.  That may not be a 
good thing.

Bobby.

If u have the option of making a NEW server instead of upgrading an existing on 
- DO IT !!!

We have had, and still haves, some challanges after we upgraded - MP4 seems to 
have solved some of them

Best regards

Christian Sonder

Martin / Ed / Guys
I am keen to get to know and hear if MP4 is trouble - free and resolves a lot 
of issues, especially for windows servers.

Still trying to decide if upgrading 5.1 is the best method, or maybe migrate 
over to a new Server?

Thanks

Hello all,

I am currently testing NBU 6.0 MP4 and NOM MP4.
Looks very good so far. Even NOM is getting better.
You can see that many bugs have disappeared.

Let's see what this week will bring.

Regards

Martin
