Migrating Netbackup from Sun Hardware to HP DL360
Hi Techies,
If we convert/move/migrate the backups from Sun Hardware to HP DL360, do we need to pay additionally or do we have cost associated with it?
I have actually answered this question already in your other post and added:
If you have more questions about migration, please start a new discussion.Extract from previous post:
Symantec NetBackup is not tied to hardware, but rather to OS.
You can migrate from Sun Solaris (on SPARC) to Linux (on HP). See:
Using catalog backup and recovery to transfer NetBackup catalogs between UNIX or Linux master servers as part of a hardware refresh
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH77448Unix to Windows migration needs Consulting engagement. See:
How to migrate the NetBackup catalog information from one platform to another (UNIX to Windows or vice versa), rename a Master Server, cluster an existing Master Server, or merge multiple NetBackup domains.
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH31385You may also choose to migrate from Solaris SPARC to Solaris x86.
About cost:
If you currently have NBU Server license for Unix and want to migrate to Linux or Solaris x86, you need to change the NBU Server (or Enterprise Server) license to WIN/LNX/SOLX64 (which is cheaper than Unix license).
