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

["Evans, Bill" <Bill.Evans@hq.doe.gov>]

That's what it's designed to do.  I'm not sure about skipping releases of NetView  (7.1.3.to 7.1.5) but it's pretty good about going from one system to another.  I took the NetView here from Solaris to Linux using this method.

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
