I'm supposed to migrate a Master server version 5.1 from windows 2000 to HP-UX 11i with the same hostname, is it possible to perform this migration without engaging Symantec Consulting Services? Any scripts available to ease the process of migration?
Anyone ever done this before? Could anyone point me the steps taken in order to move forward?
It's been done but it is absolutely, positively not supported. If you break it, you get to keep both pieces. It's not for the faint of heart and to pull it off you'll be modifying binary files directly. It may take you multiple attempts.
Depending on the size of your environment, you may find it easier (and it's supportable) to set up a parallel environment on the new server and start moving the clients to the new master. It makes it fun at restore time since you have to know which master was responsible for the backup at the time. If you don't have a lot of tapes, import the old tapes into the new master. This is a supported operation and will get you the media and catalog information into your new master. If you've got a thousand tapes, though, this isn't going to be very practical.
