migration 7.6 to 8.0

[guilhemlflo]

Hello, I will have to migrate an NBU master from version 7.6.1.2 to netbackup 8.0.

I use this doc:

I currently have an MSDP media and a "classic" master

Would you have any advice or experience feedback on it? Are there specific actions or things that I need to pay particular attention to? Thank you.

I strongly recommend performing a Veritas SORT assessment to verify the system can fulfill the requirements for NBU 8.X before initiating the upgrade. It a cool utility, so what not use it :)

The binary used to run the assessment is called the SORT Data Collector:

You can see a sample report from the data collector here:

In general I recommend running the upgrade on a test system before proceeding to the production system. Also consider to open a support ticket in advanced in case upgrade fails.
