RE: [NV-L] Migrating Netview 7.1.3 from Solaris 7 to Solaris 8 or 9

Bill's right about the method. But direct migration from 7.1.3 to the new 7.1.5 is not supported, I am sorry to say. Too many configurational changes and not enough time to build them all into the migration tools.

You will have to install 7.1.4 as an interim, take another backup and then do another migration install of 7.1.5.
Sorry.

Thanks Bill,

That's great news. My only problem now is disk space for the backup. Thanks for the quick response.

Cheers,
Sue

That's what it's designed to do. I'm not sure about skipping releases of NetView (7.1.3.to 7.1.5) but it's pretty good about going from one system to another. I took the NetView here from Solaris to Linux using this method.

Thanks Bill,

Will this work if moving from Solaris 7 OS to Solaris 8 or 9 OS on the new server?

Regards,
Sue

Do it the easy way.
1. use Serversetup too and do a maintenance backup of /usr/OV/ALL.USER
2. Tar the directory created -- /usr/OV.back.V7r1
3. copy the tar file to the new system and untar it.
4. Do an update install on the new system. "instalnv -k SERVER -u"
Everything should be there and functional.

You really should get current with NetVIew 7.1.5 or at least with 7.1.4 since 7.1.3 is now out of service if I remember correctly.

Check the archives and you'll see the details of the migration spelled out a number of times.

Subject: [NV-L] Migrating Netview 7.1.3 from Solaris 7 to Solaris 8 or 9

Hi,

I need to upgrade our Netview hardware urgently due to capacity issues. Planning to move from Sun E450 Solaris 7 to Sunfire V210. Had hoped for a quick migration by moving /usr/OV directory from current system to save configs, customisations, databases, mibs, etc. (I currently use nvhotbackup and reset-ci to duplicate our production Netview on a backup server every week with no problems).

I'm assuming this migration would be successful if the new system had the same OS, however minimum OS for all the new Sun servers is Sol 8. My assumption is that I will probably have problems if I just move the /usr/OV from Sol 7 to Sol 8 server. Has anyone else tried this, or at least tried moving the databases and config files from Sol 7 to Sol 8. Does anyone know if this is possible? We have a huge database and a lot of customisations so do not want to start afresh. Is there any documentation on migrating to a new server and OS?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Regards,
Sue Young
