Hi. I have an old HP-UX server with Oracle DB whose version (6.5) is no longer supported by NetBackup 7.x. I was able to backup the server and the Oracle database. I now want to restore the said backups to a newer server that is supported by NetBackup. I am unable to do a restore since it will make use of the original server and that the data will pass through the LAN. I tried doing a FORCE_RESTORE on the new server but somehow it doesn't work and results in an error. It is now being investigated by Symantec Support.
However, I can't wait for Symantec Support's answer as it is taking them too long to investigate and I have a migration timetable to follow. I thought of an alternative solution which is to change the ownership of the media from the old server to my new server. My questions is will this work? Do I need to change the ownership of the backup media and/or backup images? What is the fastest way to do it?
If I change the owner of the media, will it automatically change the owner of the images? Btw, I'm using a VTL.
I'm also open to other suggestions as to how to resolve this. Thanks in advance!
