Re: [Veritas-bu] Upgrading NetBackup from 5.1 to 6.5.3

You need to do consistency check using
NBCC.
Netbackup services should be done before
upgrading.
Please find the steps which I have performed.
1. Preparing
your server for upgrade
a) Ensure
that the server list defined on the master server doesn’t contain any
media servers that are not valid. If any invalid servers are detected during
upgrade, it can cause errors.
b) Ensure
that there are no non active media servers assigned to storage unit.
c) Ensure
that there are no image, media or volume database inconsistencies. The
NBCC must be installed and run on the server before upgrading to ensure
that all the db information is consistent.
d) Deactivate
all the policies before upgrade.
2. Summary
of sequence to upgrade to 6.5
a) Ensure
that the current version of NetBackup is having latest Maintenance patch.
b) If
the file /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/driver/snapctl10_x exists, remove it.
c) Remove
the current NetBackup server package using pkgrm VRTSnetbp.
d) Ensure
that you have all the license keys before hand.
e) Go
to the folder where you have the software for NetBackup server and run
the install script.
f) Since
we don’t have PBX installed in our system, it will ask us to install the
corresponding package for PBX ie VRTSpbx.
g) During
the activities it will ask us whether we want to start all the daemons
for NetBackup. Answer in affirmative.
h) Caution:
Do not run nbpushdata this time.
i) Verify
that all the NetBackup policies are still deactivated but all NetBackup
services should be running.
j) Suspend
netbackup resource allocation before running the nbpushdata command.
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbrbutil
–suspend
k) Delete
all the files in /usr/openv/netbackup/remote_versions.
l) Run
the nbpushdata –add command. This command moves data from your current
database files into a newly created EMM Database.
m) Stop
and restart the NetBackup services.
Thanks ,

| [Veritas-bu] Upgrading NetBackup from
5.1 to 6.5.3 |
|
Hi All,
I am planning on upgrading my NetBackup solution this
weekend from 5.1 to 6.5.3, I have followed the latest upgrade checklist
and everything looks good to go.
Does anyone out there who has already performed this upgrade
have any words of caution or gotcha’s that they can offer?
My solution consists of one Solaris 9 master server and
two Solaris 9 media servers connected to 10 LTO2 tapes drives via fibre.
The clients are a mixture of Windows, Linux and Solaris
but they will be upgraded at a later date.
Thanks in advance,
Steve.
