    sorry all for the delay but was not able to answer before.

    I fixed the issue. Downloaded the software again despite the checksum was already correct. Then i did not extract the needed platform (RHEL) file from the "NB_CLT_7.1.0.4.tar" as before. So i put the complete file (3GB) with the maintanance relaese file "NB_7.1.0.4.linuxR_x86.tar" together in a directory, extracted only "NB_7.1.0.4.linuxR_x86.tar" and run NB_update.install script.

    I don´t know why but then i was able to do a bprecover !

     

    thanks

He will close this one. Sorry again for confusion...

The solaris version is 7.1.0.4 and i know that a catalog restore should be done on the new server with same version. But unfortunately we cannot upgrade from 7.1 to 7.1.0.4. Somehow the maintanance upgrade breaks the system.
