    1)  Not if the new and old media servers are running different versions of BackupExec

    2)  If  you copy the existing media server to the new box, and then upgrade that, all your current job, media ser and schedule info should be included in the new server

    See  http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/318321.htm

    Hmm

    Don't know why the Oracle agent didn't tranfer over

    You can always add the Oracle serial in yourself.  if you can't find yourcopy, you should be able to call Licensing and get it again

    I put it in installation time when i was in process of installation...
    Is it possible if my old existing server was running then agent will not update on another server.
    What root cause can be.. i dont know.. but its critical issue for my client after transffering process they can't wait for another troubleshooting.. so please guide...

    Only thing I can think of -

    If the remote agent was publishing to the old server, change it to publish to the new server.  If that doesn't work, 'fraid you are down to a paid call for support
