List,

I'm planning a Netbackup server upgrade from Solaris 8 sparc to Solaris 10 on CMT (T5120) and I wondered if anyone might have a check list or plan that might have been used to do a similar upgrade? The master is the only server in the environment.

At a high level I know I need to do the following...

1. Install the solaris 10 system and get netbackup installed on the new system.
2. Stop netbackup on the old server.
3. Restore the catalog to the new server
4. Configure Storage Units on the new server.

Questions:

1. How are the licenses moved from the old server to the new server?
2. Does the catalog restore include the policies or are they restored some other way?
3. What are the gotchas I might try to avoid?

Thanks for any experiences you might be willing to share.
Vic
