Oh dear, oh dear! this is when you start to feel that the support is not so
good :-(
 
how many tapes are we dealing with?

Phase 1 process takes an hour1, and based on my findings, and experience, an
LTO Phase 2 takes 4 hours, give or take.
 
Again, if you have a limited set of tapes, I guess its "OK", to do this and
you have the time. also, bear in mind a drive will be in full use while the
import takes place. So unless you have a spare drive backups will not run
correctly and could fail.
 
Also, there appears to be some concerns about 6.0 and the so called MP3. If
the Support engineer is going to be AT hand , during the whole process, then
its probably worth considering this.
 
I run 5.1 MP2 and to be honest, its absolutely fine. I am not saying this is
what you should do, but if you have to upgrade, youll need to go to 5.x and
then to 6.0
 
As for your OS - If symantec say do it, then it must be supported!
Hope this is of some help

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Migration from 4.5 FP3 to 6.0


Hi all,
After talking to Veritas support, I guess since we are running 4.5 on RH
7.3, and non of them is really supported, they suggested that we just build
the new server with ES 4 and NB 6.0 MP3, and import all of the tapes to
rebuild the catalog, since they said the 6.0 should read the tapes from 4.5.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

- Yang
