Re: NV 6.0.2 with Framework to NV 7.1 without Framework

This is a multipart message in MIME format. For NetView you will still have to run the /usr/OV/service/reset_ci
command any time you change the address or hostname of the NetView box, or
if you move the database from one machine to another. That has always
been true and still is.

James,
Will this eliminate future problems with changing the IP address/name of
the Netview Server. With the current Framework/Netview setup, it was not
recommended to change the address/name of the server, since Framework did
not like it. So if I am planning to upgrade to 7.1 without Framework, once
I am ready to move it to production, I want to change the iP address/name
will there be any problems since Framework was initally installed?
Thanks

I think you may misunderstand how migration works on UNIX.
To migrate to 7.1, even with the Framework, you would
(1) take a backup of all the user date using the backup function
from "Maintain" on serversetup
This creates a directory structure of user data in
/usr/OV.back.v6r1
(2) then you de-install NetView from serversetup
(2) then you install 7.1 using the upgrade function specifically
This finds that directory structure and merges in the data
in it.
You can remove that directory structure as soon as you are
comfortable.
If you are using the Framework for this, then you install using the Tivoli
desktop. If you aren't using the Framework, even if it is installed, you
mount the 7.1 CD and from that directory you issue "instalnv -k
[SERVER|CLIENT | BOOKS] -u as appropriate. But you still follow the same
basic procedure as above.
The "frameworkless" install will work just fine with the Framework still
installed, but you will not be able to upgrade the FW later and connect it
to the installed NetView. They will remain entirely separate. To connect
them again, you would have to backup and de-install that 7.1 and then
reinstall it again using the FW.
Nothing would be lost however because you would have created another
backup directory structure first.

I would like to know if it is possible to migrate a working NV 6.0.2
Installation with Framework to the new NV 7.1 without Framework?
The problem is, that our Framework is out of date for the NV 7.1 and our
Tivoli people wont upgrade the Framework to the Version 7.1 requires, so I
have to install the whole thing without.
Is it possible to migrate it or do I have to completly deinstall the 6.0.2
before?
Thanks in advance
