No you hit it on the nose.  It's a pretty straight forward as that.  When we
did an upgrade that was very similar we actually had the /usr/openv sitting
on an external array and we just replaced the hardware and reconfigured the
drives.

I really can't remember any gotchas or problems we had.

Happy swapping/upgrading!!

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Upgrading Sun slave from E3000 to E4500


I was wondering if anyone out there has done this type of an upgrade.  We
would
like to take the existing installation of Netbackup on an E3000 and move it
to a
new E4500.   The new box would have the same name and IP address as the old.
I
would think that we would be able to bring over the /usr/openv tree, and
would
possibly have to reconfigure the tape drives because the hardware paths to
the
drives will change.

Anybody out there done something similar?  Any gotchas I'm missing?

Thanks,
Mark
