Media Server (with MSDP) Upgrade OS from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2
IHAC, that wants to upgrade from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2 on their media servers. Currently they are running NetBackup 7.6.0.2 and I figured we should update the NetBackup to 7.6.1.1(or 2) prior to any OS...
Have a look at this recent post:
I would personally prefer to have the MSDP disk disconnected during Windows upgrade.
You may have to go through initial setup steps again after NBU reinstall.
Something similar to this TN (Ignore reference to Catalog recovery): http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH173220
1. Record/note/save MSDP Credentials used when initially setting up the MSDP pool
2. Attach MSDP disk to same path as before
3. Create Storage Server with nbdevconfig command as per the TN.
4. Add credentials as per TN
Or better - see Chapter 9 of NetBackup Deduplication Guide :
Host replacement,recovery, and uninstallation
