Networker Server update from Linux 32 to 64 bits
Hi,
Someone has made a NW server update from Linux (or other UNIX) 32 to 64 bits? Today, a Linux 32 bits server running 8.0.3 version, needs to be migrated to 64 bits (new hardware)
Thanks
Claudio

Correct. Bootstrap backup does export and import media database using nsrmmdbasm which is exactly what PS would do too (manual for the command should give you an idea of steps, however recent versions do not contain examples, but if you search KB you will find examples in both KB and forums). As always, I would suggest to have sort of dry-run making sure all is fine.

Hi Pawan,
I have Solve Desktop installed and I know the procedure for a HW migration. But a document called "Technical Guidance to Upgrading to EMC NetWorker Release 8.1" says:
"When 64-bit NetWorker server on UNIX has the 32-bit version of the NetWorker
software installed, you cannot update to the 64-bit version of the NetWorker software.
EMC Professional Services or a certified EMC partner must perform this update."
Regards
Claudio

It applies to UNIX systems due to endian settings (and one can do it themselves though not supported). With Linux, they are all small endians (both 32bit and 64bit so this does not apply AFAIK).

So, you can say that migration can be done thru a simple Networker DR procedure from source (32 bit) to target (64 bit)? In other words, NW 64 bits installed on 64 bit target Linux server and then mmrecover from original 32 bits server, right?

Thank you, Hrvoje. I've used mmrecov a lot of times. However, I'll maintain original server in a safe place.
