Master Server restore

Hey Guys ,

I want to know if i have a master server running on Solaris 10 sparc machine, can i restore the master server on a server running on Solaris 10 Intel based machine. Please note that the difference here is Sparc and Intel Platform.

Regards,

Majid.
  • You have two options
    1. Official way (cross-platform migrations are not covered by Symantec support): http://support.veritas.com/docs/267137

    Symantec Consulting Services have developed comprehensive methodologies to handle a variety of reconfiguration requirements including the following scenarios:
     

    • Merging of two or more domains
    • Splitting of a domain into two or more domains
    • Clustering of a non-clustered master server
    • Renaming of a Master Server
    • Moving a Master Server to a new machine involving a host name change
    • Moving a Master Server to a different platform/operating system
    • Un-clustering a clustered master server

    2. Just perform hot backup on old system and recovery using the same patch level for NBU to new system. It should work.
    Little bit unsupported, but couple of guys from this forum did this trick and now happy with their new Sol10 x64
