Officially, the rule is, same server name and same OS.

What I have found in the past is I can move Netbackup to different Windows OS, providing the install path is identical.

However, Server name caused the biggest headache.

I actually found that migrating from server1 to server2 and moving all clients over was much easier. And I was still in a position to use the old Master / Media servers if required as I could redirect restores.

Officially, Tech Support cannot help. Symatec Professional Services (they used to be called) can help with the migration you need.

But I went my own way, and to be honest, it was no real drama and the benefit was a nice clean brand new environment.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Upgradation, Consolidation and then Migration :-Few Questions 5.1 to 6.5, windows 2k to win2k8

Hello Geeks,

We have one Master Server( NBU 5.1 MP3) + one media server ( NBU 5.1 MP3).
Both are on windows 2000 SP4.

Now our task is to upgrade master server to 6.5.
Upgrade media server to 6.5.
Decommison the media server and move all the media to master server.

Recover the catalog to another server that would be windows2008 with a diffrent name:

Steps we have made for this project :

1) Upgrade both master and media to 5.1 Mp7.
2) Upgrade master to 6.5
3) Upgrade media to 6.5
4) Decommison media server and move all media to master server.
5) Recover the catalog to new server with a different name.( win2k8 box)

Some questions that I have are :

1) Can we recover the catalog of windows 2000 machine to windows 2008 :-As both will be a diffrent hardware ???
2) Even the name of the machine to which we have to recover the catalog is different:-What all steps we should follow for this ?

Please suggest with your inputs as this a critical activity for us.

Thanks in Advance !!
