Doug,

Add a new file system to you server, call it /veritas_upgrade and shut off you old veritas, using /sbin/init.d/netbackup stop, make sure all proc's are stopped, run bpps -a. Now copy all data in /usr/openv to the new mounted "/veritas/openv file system. mv /usr/openv to /usr/openv.orig now ln -s /veritas/openv /usr/openv, now upgrade the copy.

All happy with upgrade, leave it be if not happy then relink the original copy and turn it back on.

Some very important steps that are missing. For a point upgrade, read the release notes to check compatibility with OS/platforms/patchesas VERITAS sometimes stops supporting clients. And for a simple MP upgrade read the README because some changes will require a modification to actually and/or effectually use the features in the maintenance pack.Message was edited by:
