Ok. my plan now is to get another hardware ready for this.the idea is for us to have an easy rollback plan. so the existing windows2003 master server will be shutdown and catalog will be restored on the 1st new hardware(windows2008, NBU6.5.4) and upgrade to NBU7.1.Then the catalog will be backup on this new hardware ,then restored to the 2nd newhardware(windows2008 R2, NBU7.1)
Will this plan be ok?
And one more thing, we will be upgrading our media servers as well to 7.1. Can you share with me the steps to decommission these media server and get the media backedup by those media servers migrated(make restorable by the new servers) to the new media servers as we will be changing the names of the media servers.
thanks guys.
thanks.
