Hi Team,
We are planning to migrate the Netbackup server from old hardware to new Hardware. But we are planning to change the new server name and also planning to upgrade the Netbackup version ( from 7.5.7 to 7.7.1). Please guide me what are all steps I need to take care before doing this.
Note: - There are no media server on current Netbackup server. It has only local disk storage ( 4 TB). The new one have 16 TB by MSDP.
Both are same OS version ( Red hat Linux )
Thanks for your advance help.
Solved! Go to Solution.

You cannot change server name without Veritas Consulting involvement. That is not a do-it-yourself task.

You can migrate to newer version (might as well go to the latest, 7.7.3) while keeping the same hostname.
See Veritas SORT for upgrade checklist: https://sort.veritas.com/

Hi Marianne,
Thank you for comment here. I have already gone through the link which you pasted. But there are no links how to do. Any how, now I am going to raise a case with Veritas.
Thanks

Correct. There are no links because this is not a DIY job.
Extract from the TN:
VERITAS has developed comprehensive methodologies to handle a variety of reconfiguration requirements including the following scenarios:
A number of VERITAS consultants and Consulting Partners worldwide have been trained on these procedures and certified to deliver them in accordance with standards required by the VERITAS technical support organization.
VERITAS consultants and Consulting Partners will assist customers by determining the correct approach to take, planning the activity and executing the plan successfully with minimum disruption to the operational environment.
Please contact a NetBackup Sales Representative for assistance in engaging a certified VERITAS consultant or Consulting Partner.
So, veritas Support cannot help you.
You need to contact your local reseller or Veritas sales office to put you in contact with a catman consultant.

another words, all the mentioned options are available, but you need to pay for them, right?

Hi @vivashki
You should reallt start a new thread rather than tacking on to a previously resolved issue.
When you start the thread - describe some more details around what you are wanting to do. There may be options available that do not require Veritas services (not many mind).
Cheers
David
