Several months ago we built a new 7.1 master server on Linux.
We left our old 6.5 HP-UX Master running to let images expire and do vaulting reports to call old tapes from off site as they expired.
We do NOT need to migrate any images so I am not asking about catalog or reimport.
What I want to do now is to redeploy the old master as a media server.
My thinking is that I need to completely remove the 6.5 install from old master as detailed in the 6.5 installation guide:
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH52799
Then install as a 7.1 media server from scratch.
My questions are:
1)
There is discussion about PBX in the uninstall – Do I need to do this and reinstall PBX from the 7.1 stuff or can I use what is already
there?
2)
Licenses – I’m assuming I can use the same licenses as I previously had even though this will now be a media server rather than a master:
A)
Is this the case or will I need to get new licenses?
B)
Do I need to do anything to preserve licenses? (e.g. save something in /etc/vx?)
Again I am NOT trying to migrate to a new master – please do NOT respond about saving catalog, migrating catalog/master or needing Symantec Professional services.
The new master is already in place.
