RE: [NV-L] Migrating Netview 7.1.3 from Solaris 7 to Solaris 8 or 9
2006-11-14 16:09:45
Do it the easy way.
-
use Serversetup too and do a maintenance backup of
/usr/OV/ALL.USER
-
Tar the directory created -- /usr/OV.back.V7r1
-
copy the tar file to the new system and untar it.
-
Do an update install on the new system. "instalnv -k SERVER -u"
Everything should be there and functional.
You really should get current with NetVIew 7.1.5 or at
least with 7.1.4 since 7.1.3 is now out of service if I remember correctly.
Check the archives and you'll see the details of the
migration spelled out a number of times.
Hi,
I need to upgrade our Netview hardware urgently due to
capacity issues. Planning to move from Sun E450 Solaris 7 to Sunfire V210. Had
hoped for a quick migration by moving /usr/OV directory from current system to
save configs, customisations, databases, mibs, etc. (I currently use nvhotbackup
and reset-ci to duplicate our production Netview on a backup server every week
with no problems).
I'm assuming this
migration would be successful if the new system had the same OS, however minimum
OS for all the new Sun servers is Sol 8. My assumption is that I will
probably have problems if I just move the /usr/OV from Sol 7 to Sol 8 server.
Has anyone else tried this, or at least tried moving the databases and config
files from Sol 7 to Sol 8. Does anyone know if this is possible? We have a huge
database and a lot of customisations so do not want to start afresh. Is there
any documentation on migrating to a new server and OS?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Regards, Sue
Young
