Netbackup recovery

So i am going from Netbackup 5.1 mp1 solaris to netbakup 5.1 mp1 Aix 5.3

Solaris used acsls library and  now the Aix will use 2 standalone 9940B tape drives.

I am not finding tape drivers for them?

No library so no ovpass right?

The other concerns is the server name is changing and i see that is not recommended.

Thanks

Never change NetBackup Master server name (unless you know the product inside-out and understand each and every update/change that has to be made).

You need this device driver for AIX: devices.fcp.tape.stk.rte

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1000477

(Same driver is used for 9840 and 9940). Problem is - the StorageTek website does not exist anymore.

Best if you log a call with your STK/SUN/Oracle partner.

PLEASE make an effort to upgrade to NBU 6.5.x - you're on your own if anything should go wrong....

Its only 8 clients and sad to say moving to TSM.  So this is just for any restores.

Other question was  for recovering netbackup to a new server name is it feasible
