Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup Migration 5.1 -> 6.5

hi John
thanks. That is part of the problem, in that the hardware
is becoming troublesome.
So my plan was to install clean v 5.1 and then upgrade.
Then slowly migrate the client systems over to the new server. Eventually the
old server will be closed down.

I recently pondered the same questions and chose to build a new
environment with 6.5 rather than upgrading the existing 5.1 servers. I
can't speak for the SAN media servers as we don't have any but if you are
upgrading to 6.5 you will need to install 5.1 on the new servers install your
license keys and then upgrade to 6.5. Chances are your license keys will not
install on a virgin 6.5 server if they are 5.x license keys. As for
question 3. I can't imagine how Symantec could ever consider that a violation if
you choose to upgrade via a clean install on new hardware. What if your existing
server failed, could you be expected to buy new licenses if you had to rebuild
on new hardware. As I see it I probably saved Symantec a bunch of support calls
by starting clean on a new server. john

Hi all,
I am weighing up the pros and cons to either do an "in
place" upgrade or "migration".
I just wanted to know if anyone had
any pros or cons to this. The Environment constsits of 10+ SAN SSO Media
Servers, 1 Master, 1 Robot.
In place should be easy, but Symantec
are identifying many, many issues with the current environment, that concerns
me that the upgrade will not go clean.
Starting afresh for the Master means
I will migrate clients and policies over from the old system to the new
one.
Just a couple of quick
questions:
1) My License key is for upgrade.
Would it still work if 5.1 was not installed on the "clean" new Server?
2) for the SAN Media Servers,
any cons I need to be aware of when upgrading them and pointing them to the
new Master Server
3) Does this violate the license
agreement by using the new key on new clean hardware? What if I turn off the
Master, install 5.1 on the new Server with my current license, and then use
the upgrade license key for NBU 6.5
Apprecaite the comments and
advice.
Thanks
Regards
Simon
