Good Day
Hi Fella,
I would like to upgrade my media server that is currently running on AIX 6.1 installed with NBU 6.5.6 to NBU 7.5.0.1.
Can anybody teach me the best practise / or procedure to upgrade in AIX environment. I already read the Technote and done some research.
But i feel it is better for me to learn and share with others in this community through this article.
Correct me if I am wrong with my plan below to upgrade my media server:
1. Stop all netbackup services running on master servers : netbackup stop
2. Check processes for nbu: bpps -a
3. Kill all the processes that are still running : bp.kill_all
4.Mount the installer for NBU 7.5 : I need suggestion from you guys here. Do I have to Install directly or have to install the 7.5 then install the 7.5.0.1 patch. Also some installaton details :D
5. Run the installer.
6. Scan the drives for tape library : a. lsdev -Cc tape, b. tpconfig/cfgmgr -v c. lsdev -Cc - need opinion from you guys
7. Start the netbackup service.
8. Run vmoprcmd to check the drives on nbu.
Thanks in advance
