Greetings!!

We are attempting a migration from NB 4.5FP6 on Solaris 5.8 to NB 6.0 on
RHEL4 Linux. The big thing, of course, is the catalog migration. Has
anyone had experience with this?

Speaking with VeritaSymantec, they say that I need to upgrade the
Solaris server to 5.x and start with the Linux server at 5.x. Then they
will perform the migration of the catalog (for a fee, of course, since
it's not "supported" by Veritas), and then we upgrade to 6.0 on the
Linux box. And nevermind about the system name change.

I find it a little odd (but not completely unexpected) that "they do not
support the migration of the catalog"; surely, we are not the first to
make such a change. Yet they can perform the migration themselves. I've
a feeling that they have a tool for this not available to the general
public, and that it's probably a lot easier than they let on.

So, has anyone made this type of migration without Veritas' help, and,
if so, how did you do it? I'm not looking forward to doing imports on a
thousand tapes.....

As always, thanks!!!!
