Restore After Hardware and Version Upgrade
I recently built a new NB server with 7.1.
The old server was running 6.5.1.
I need to do a restore from a tape that was written to from the old server.
I took down both servers and swapped the HBA back to the old server. When I brought it up it is giving an error in the event logs that the new server is the Master Server. It will not allow many of the services to start up on the old server.
Is there a way to switch the Master to the old server? Is there a better way to make this restore?
I don't see the 'other thread' that you are referring to? I see other 'import' threads posted by other users... It helps if we have all relevant info....
When you performed this step "Added the new server to all of the clients" you probably selected the old master as well (it appears as a client if you have a policy for it). That would have updated the old server's registry with new master server name.
Instead of trying to resurrect the old master, try Recovery Without Import method (copy images from old master to new master).
