Ok, thanks James.

    Well, the proper way to do this is with a migration installation.
On your 7.1.3 server you use Serversetup, Maintain--> Selective Data, and 
select all user data. This creates a backup directory called 
"/usr/OV.v7r1.back", which you then tar up and ftp to the new server, and untar 
it there. Then you install 7.1.4 as an upgrade (-u) so that the installation 
process will merge all your old customizations into the new code.

If you just copy data from 7.1.3 to 7.1.4 you will wipe out the existing 7.1.4 
data, and you will have to do a /usr/OV/service/reset_ci and perhaps a mapadmin 
-u ( the one inside reset_ci isn't always successful), and probably an 
ovw_verify as well to make sure all the fields and bit maps you need are 
present. And you may have problems if they aren't, which is why the migration 
installation ifs the supported method. I makes sure you have everything you 
need first. 

I can tell you that our Verification teams test this supported process many 
times, but they never just move database between releases as you suggest, so 
there may be other issues lurking in that process I don't know about.

Any one else care to comment?

[NV-L] Copying NetView Databases to Alternate NetView Server          
All,
I'd like to know if datbase files /usr/OV/databases/openview and 
/usr/OV/databases/snmpCollect can be copied from a NetView server running 7.1.3 
to a NetView server running 7.1.4.

Both servers have unique IP addresses and are on the same subnet. 

The issue is that the new NetView server has too many devices to Cut-and-Paste 
on the topology map so I'd like to copy the maps from the old server to the new 
one so that I don't have to Cut-and-Paste. The new server does use a seed file 
and location.conf. for some devices.

Thanks for your help.
