Thanks Bill,

Will this work if moving from Solaris
7 OS to Solaris 8 or 9 OS on the new server?

Regards,
Sue

Do it the easy way.  
1.        use
Serversetup too and do a maintenance backup of /usr/OV/ALL.USER
2.        Tar
the directory created -- /usr/OV.back.V7r1
3.        copy
the tar file to the new system and untar it.  
4.        Do
an update install on the new system.  "instalnv -k SERVER -u"

Everything should be there and
functional.  
 
You really should get current
with NetVIew 7.1.5 or at least with 7.1.4 since 7.1.3 is now out of service
if I remember correctly. 
 
Check the archives and you'll
see the details of the migration spelled out a number of times.

Subject: [NV-L] Migrating Netview 7.1.3 from Solaris 7 to Solaris 8
or 9


Hi, 

I need to upgrade our Netview hardware urgently due to capacity issues.
Planning to move from Sun E450 Solaris 7 to Sunfire V210. Had hoped for
a quick migration by moving /usr/OV directory from current system to save
configs, customisations, databases, mibs, etc. (I currently use nvhotbackup
and reset-ci to duplicate our production Netview on a backup server every
week with no problems). 

I'm assuming this migration would be successful if the new system had the
same OS, however minimum OS for all the new Sun servers is Sol 8.  My
assumption is that I will probably have problems if I just move the /usr/OV
from Sol 7 to Sol 8 server. Has anyone else tried this, or at least tried
moving the databases and config files from Sol 7 to Sol 8. Does anyone
know if this is possible? We have a huge database and a lot of customisations
so do not want to start afresh. Is there any documentation on migrating
to a new server and OS? 

Thanks in advance for your advice. 

Regards, 
Sue Young
