Matthew,
I procedure that I carried out moving from Tru64 to SGI consisted of the 
following steps:
Please note that I assume your original Networker server is 6.x.x. (for pre 6.x 
the procedure should be slightly different).
This procedure should move your current Networker environment configuration 
including index and media databases.
It should be preferred that the new server name will be identical to the old 
server name, otherwise ....! 
A. On the original server:
        1. Create a group that includes all your clients (for indexes save). 
This group should dot be scheduled.
        2. Note where /nsr points to. You will have to recreate this link on 
the new machine.
        3. Ensure no backup/restore activity in your server.
        4. Create a full backup of all your client indexes and bootstrap by 
using: savegrp -O -l full -G IndexesSaveGroupName
        5. Note the bootsrap information produced for the step above.
        6. Optional - shutdown your current server and move the jukebox to the 
new machine.
B. On the new server (should be the same name as original server name):
        1. Connect your jukebox (hardware/drivers wise).
        2. Create a link from /nsr to the desired location of your Networker 
directory. This should be the same as the one on the original server.
        3. Install clean Networker server. Make sure /nsr points to the 
location as found in item A2. Ensure Networker is up!
        4. Configure your jukebox from scratch.
        5. Insert the tape from step A4-5 into a drive.
        6. Use the mmrecov command. When it prompts you specify device name, 
ssid, file number on tape.
        7. When step 6 ends, you have the media database recovered to /nsr/mm, 
the old /nsr.res directory to /nsr.res.R and the server index to 
/nsr/index/ServerName.
        8. Shut down Networker.
        9. Rename /nsr.res.R to /nsr.res.
        10. Restart Networker.
        11. Delete from your Networker configuration (now the original one) 
your jukebox and tape drives.
        12. Reconfigure your jukebox and tape drives. Inventory your jukebox by 
issuing: "nsrjb -HEvvvvv;nsrjb -Ivvvvv". This may take some time if your 
jukebox is big (has many slots).
        13. Recover all your client indexes with "nsrck -L7"

To the best of my knowledge this procedure should work between any two 
Networker servers platform.

HTH,
        Itzik

Thierry,

I was involved in an ongoing dispute with our support company for about 5 
months, the net result of which was a definitive answer from Legato which 
categorically stated that migration of the NetWorker server from Solaris to 
HPUX was not supported.

The procedure that I posted earlier did everything that the support company 
told me it would.  They has warned that neither the media database nor the 
client indexes would be readable by the HP NetWorker server, and this did 
indeed turn out to be true.

If you have carried out a successful migration from Solaris to HPUX I would be 
extremely interested in looking at the procedure you followed, because I would 
then have some serious questions for the support company.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Matthew
