我需要解决方案
IHAC, that wants to upgrade from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2 on their media servers. Currently they are running NetBackup 7.6.0.2 and I figured we should update the NetBackup to 7.6.1.1(or 2) prior to any OS upgrade so the NetBackup will work.
I was also thinking we should be able to do the following if upgrading the OS is a bad idea:
- On the GUI set the media server to be deactivated
- Stop NetBackup on the media server
- Backup Registry (just in case… don’t see why I would need it)
- Unmounts the MSDP disks
- Install Windows 2012 R2 with the same Server name and IP.
- Install NetBackup on the new server
- Stop NetBackup on the media server
- Mount the MSDP disks
- Start NetBackup on the media server
- On the GUI set the media server to be active and see if I can see the disk pool.
Those steps above seem too easy on face value… I got be missing something logically.
Anyway has anybody done an OS upgrade on a Media server running NetBackup with an MSDP pool? Did it work? What steps did you do to protect the MSDP?
