Re: [Veritas-bu] Media Server Migration

We are also planning to do the same thing
before upgrading to 6.5. We are currently running 5.2 on HP-UX. I’m a
little concerned about your comment about how long the bpmedia –movedb step
can take. Do you have any benchmarks on timing? What do you consider a media
server with many tapes, 700 tapes, 1000 tapes, 3000 tapes?

Server Migration
Same here, that’s pretty much my
plan. However, with large catalog’s that bpmedia –movedb step
can literally run for days, even weeks on a media server with many tapes.
I’ve thought about using bpimage to move the images rather than the
media. I haven’t tested it thoroughly yet. Does anyone have
experience with this alternative, is it any faster? Is it sufficient to
move image and tape ownership away from the migrating media server?

We are about to do this.
The basic steps we are looking at are :
* bpmedia -movedb for each tape owned by the media server so that the tapes are
owned by the old 5.1 master
* Uninstall NBU 5.1 on media server
* Install NBU 6.5 on media server and integrate into new 6.5 environment
* Remove storage units associated with the media server in the 5.1 environment
* Remove SERVER= entries from the 5.1 environment
* Possibly, further down the track, import remaining long retention backups
from 5.1 environment into 6.5 environment
Cheers,
Dean

I would be interested in hearing thoughts on migrating a 5.1 Media
server from a legacy 5.1 Master to a new, different 6.5 Master server.
Would this require formally decommissioning the 5.1 media server via the
5.1 master then reinstalling 6.5 media server under the new 6.5 Master?
Or is there a faster, easier way to migrate while maintaining media and
image integrity?

Good discussion, as I am looking at "MIGRATION" from 5.1 Server to
NEW
Server 6.5.2
My onyl concerns I have in the back of my head is how to move a Media
Server that is on 5.1 over to 6.5.2
Anyone done a migration from an old system to a new one?
Not too worried about the old robot or catalog, as this is all being
replaced. If need be, I will have to import.
Some systems are SQL, Oracle based online media servers
Thanks,
Simon

Yeah! Cheap shots at Symantec are reserved for those of us who have
spent many restless nights fighting Netbackup. =P
Just my .02 - Migrated several Windows 2000 5.1 environments to 6.0 MP4
and then to 6.5.1, 6.5.2 and 6.5.2a. Although there have been issues,
I've only had to apply one engineering binary to one environment that
had an issue with calendar backups. Maybe I'm just lucky (or maybe
Symantec doesn't test on Non-Windows OS =P) but from my experience I
think 5.1, 6.0 MP4, 6.51+ are all stable products.

Watch out for this one with 6.5.1 on Windows:

The technote says that this is fixed in 6.5.2.

Right now I'm caught between that one and the
completely broken
6.5.2A -
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/305609.htm
The technote says that there's an EEB available for this. 6.5.2A is
*NOT completely broken. Many years, us included, are running it in full
production.
You'd think they'd test this stuff before release by
,say,
trying to run a
backup or something...
This has been discussed before. Your comment is unwarranted and low
shots like this don't encourage Symantec employees or other users to
help you.
