Randy,

I would first replace the hardware and verify it's all working before you do anything else. If it were me, I'd be hesitant to mix these two maintenances, there's always something that comes up and this may complicate troubleshooting. If this is 6.0 moving to 6.5.2, it should be a pretty simple upgrade and I don't think you have anything to be too concerned over.

Good luck with it!

[Veritas-bu] 6.0 MP5 Upgrade to 6.5.2





I just wanted to ask for everyone's thoughts and prayers through my times of trial as I go through this upgrade on a very old, patched, duct taped installation that began back in the 3.x world.
 
I'm in a Windows world and I am going to replace my Master (hardware only) and I wanted to move forward with the 6.5.2 upgrade while I had the system down.  I'm asking for suggestions on how best to approach this.
 
1.    Recover NetBackup on the new hardware and then upgrade?  Or…
2.    Install NetBackup 6.5.2 on the new server and recover the catalog into the new installation?  Will that even work?  Or…
3.    Start drinking heavily, spin a bottle and go with whatever the bottle picks?  It worked in college.
 
I’m planning this for next Wednesday so if anyone is in the Houston area and you’re bored . . .  Bob?
 
Thanks,
Randy
