Renee,
Not looking at this long term at all. Sooner I can move the
SSO SAN boxes over the 6.5, the better.
Not possible to made SAN Media Servers as clients at this
stage.
Ideally it would only be for restores, but it would only be
short term. When upgrading a Media Server, will the 6.5 setup still require a
new license key for EACH media Server, or is it clever enough to know this is
going to be an upgraded box?

If
it is just for restore purposes, why don’t you just force all restores to go
through the master server? While you technically can run a 5.1 media
server in a 6.5 environment, you wouldn’t want to for very long.
Personally, in an SSO environment..I wouldn’t want to do it at all. If you
did…I think you would need to build your new env as 5.1 including all the SSO
media servers and then upgrade the new environment.
You
may want to think about making some/all of the SSO SAN media servers SAN Clients
in the new environment. Good luck

[Veritas-bu] Migration Problem / Question
Please
Morning
everyone. I have
been unable to find any help on this, and wanted to see if anyone could advise
or shed any light on this.
Current
Environment 5.1 MP5 Master + Many SSO SAN Media Servers
I am
geting a brand new system, all licensed and new hardware / robot for 6.5. At
this stage, due to issues, I am not planning to "upgrade" 5.1 at this
time.
I want
to migrate the clients to the new system, and I have a plan to do this for the
majority of the clients, except the SAN SSO Clients.
My
question is as follows: If I have a SAN SSO Media Client at 5.1 MP5, could I
simply "point" this client to my new 6.5 Master Server?
I ask
this, because during the migration, there may be a need for a restore. As its
current Master is 5.1, it would be good if I could simply restore back from the
5.1 environment, but backup to the new 6.5 environment.
I recall
that the command "nbpushdata -modify_5_x_hosts" needs to be run if you are "not"
upgrading a 5.1 Media Server.
Could
anyone advise? Thank
you
Regards
Simon
