James may be right, you may have to reload the entire system to do a
successful migration. However, this may be worth a try:
If this is on AIX: Make a logical volume, and create a /usr/OV filesystem
on it.
If other UNIX: Make a drive partition, and create a /usr/OV/ filesystem on
it.
Mount the filesystem and restore /usr/OV from the backup. You might also
have to link all the files in /usr/OV/lib to /usr/lib like so (but I am not
sure if it's necessary):
#!/bin/ksh
cd /usr/OV/lib
for libfile in *
do
ln -s /usr/OV/lib/$libfile /usr/lib/$libfile
done
You will be missing the smit entries, so you will have to run the backup
script by hand. I am going by memory here, but if you take a look at
/usr/OV/bin/nv6000_server, there is an option to create a backup. On AIX
it will create a /usr/OV.back.4.1 filesystem (or some such), mount it, ,
and populate it with all the files you need for the migration.
Then do rm -r /usr/OV/* and install the new Netview. If this fails, then
you'll need to restall as James instructed.
