Re: [Networker] Moving the NMC to a different architecture

The only things you may need the NMC database for are historical reports, or
if you used the users inside NMC to grant access to NW, other than that,
yes, you can blow it away!

Subject: [Networker] Moving the NMC to a different architecture

Hi,

has anybody succeeded in moving/restoring the Networker Management
Console (7.5SP1) to a different server architecture?  The 7.5 admin
guide seems to suggest this is not possible but I find it hard to
believe that this would make it impossible for me to migrate to another
server platform ever.  I have a fairly simple setup with 1
server/storage node running on Solaris 10 AMD and 1 NMC running on a
legacy Solaris 10 SPARC (as there was(is?) no NMC version for Solaris 10
AMD). As I'm running out of old SPARC hardware I really need to move the
NMC to either a Solaris 10 AMD or a Redhat Linux x86 platform.

What kind of information is stored in the NMC database? Could I just
remove the current NMC server, install a brand new one and go from
there?  My NMC server crashed a few days ago but the backups are still
running fine.

Nico
