Lee,
Would you please send me the full article, as I was actually planning to
do this very migration (move from Solaris 8 to Solaris 9) tomorrow?
Also, did you follow the steps in the document directly, or were there
some unaccounted for 'gotchas'?  I appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks!
Mary-Charles

While looking through the documentation on Legato's web site, I found
technical bulletin #121 which gives a step by step procedure for this.
The bulletin, however, says that the process is for versions 5.5.x and
earlier while we're running v 7.1.1.

I found that technical bulletin #121 (from Feb. 1994!!) to be nearly
useless for a 'modern' Unix Legato
system.

In my case, I wanted to move from a Solaris 8 (old platform) to a Solaris 9
(new platform)
box, and the new server platform had a different nodename. Bzzt! It's
highly suggested that you
*NOT* try to migrate to a server with a different name - name it the same
for the migration...
then, after you migrate go through a server name-change procedure.

I contacted Legato support for better info and they emailed me the
following document that was
*VERY* helpful and 99.9% applicable:

How to move a Unix NetWorker server to another Unix machine with same host

<specific instructions deleted>
I'm not sure why this document had to be sent to me and was not available
via the
"basic" support website. It covers a lot of bases including checking to
make sure
tape blocksizes are the same on the old and new systems.

(Sorry for the late reply... I'm new to the list as of today and am
reviewing the topics
posted this month.)
