[Veritas-bu] upgrade 3.4 to 4.5
2002-10-23 19:24:05
When I did my upgrade, I was changing servers also, so I found a standalone DLT
tape drive
to be extremely handy. A ufsdump of /usr/openv allowed me to transport the
data and keep a
copy on tape in the event of disaster. I built the new system, tuned the
kernel, made sure
Solaris could see the hardware, and then restored /usr/openv to it's new home.
I ran the
installer and answered yes for an upgrade. One thing I did lose was the
activity logs from
the previous few days backup. This wasn't a big problem for me. All my
schedules and
images were imported just fine. I manually ran the database conversion to
binary on my old
catalogs. On the new hardware (dual 900 sparc) it took about an hour.
The installer saw /usr/openv and knew to ask me about an upgrade. I tested the
upgrade with
a reboot, and all was fine. I did have to go into each job class and change my
storage
unit, since I was also changing libraries. After some debugging (finding my
mistakes) we
were ready to go. It took my about 2 hours to do the upgrade after I put the
files back on
the new server. When I got it all up and running, I used the new LTO drives to
do another
ufsdump of my finished work. Just in case.
