Hi All,
We are planing to migrate from 7.0 (Win server 2003) to 7.6 (Win server 2008) master server.
So how easily i can migrate my master server ?
Regards,
Zakir Khan.
You will need to migrate to W2008 using same NBU 7.0 version and then upgrade to NBU 7.6.

You mean to say, after OS installation ---> install NBU 7.0 -----> import cayalog -----> and then upgrade to NBU 7.6.
can we directly upgrade from NBU 7.0 to 7.6 ? any link or document.
Should I upgrade the master server in below mentioned step.
NetBackup 7.0 GA ----> NetBackup 7.1.0.1 ----> NetBackup 7.1.0.4 ----> NetBackup 7.5.0.1 ----> NetBackup 7.5.0.7 ----> NetBackup 7.6 GA (7.6.0.1) -----> NetBackup 7.6.0.4
OR
Directly from NetBackup 7.0 GA to NetBackup 7.6.0.4.
7.0GA to 7.6.0.1 then 7.6.0.1 to 7.6.0.4
7.6.0.1 is a full media release

thanks for your all input.............I will try this all and update you the same.
Any more suggestion will appreciated in this case.
I've said it already - you can upgrade directly.

Remember to read through all URLs mentioned here - like SORT and Upgrade Guide.
Small correction to your earlier post:
after OS installation (using same hostname) ---> install NBU 7.0 (to same install directory and same patch level) -----> recover catalog -----> and then upgrade to NBU 7.6.
As per revaroo's post - the GA release of 7.6 is 7.6.0.1, followed by patch to 7.6.0.4.

Does Zakirk have to worry about 'bit'ness? (32 vs. 64)
shouldn't matter when recovering the catalog as long as the Operating systems are of the same type
NetBackup v7.6 is 64-bit only, and so requires a 64-bit OS. Zakirk's old W2003 server could be 32-bit, with 32-bit NetBackup Server. Would this not be a problem?
