You want to go from a windows
master to a Unix master…… ho boy!
Been there…. Done that…..
If you want to bring your database
with you, then yes, you will need to use Symantec services to do the migration…
otherwise they will not support you… or so they told me.
I had issues with that… don’t
know if it was because we were going to AIX, but we could not get it to
work. They said they had done this before on Linux.
I ended up…..
Keeping my windows master until
all tapes expired on it.
I created my new aix master fresh.
Added it to all the clients and
made it their master (also added the new media servers).
And started doing backups on the
new environment (upgraded clients after we had it working)
The clients still had the old
master name in their server list.
If I had to do restore, I
just did it from the old master/media server.
Once all tapes were expired.
I took down the old windows server.
And any time we were in a client
properties, we would remove the old server names from the reference.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup Migration.
Hello All,
I am looking to migrate my windows 2003 32 bit
netbackup master/media server to Redhat 64 bit enterprise edition.
What I am looking for is for advice what I need to watch out
for as far as the config/migration etc..etc..
My support contract with a local company suggested to use
their professional services for this migration.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thank you,
Ulises Rodriguez.
