Platform Migration: Tru64 -->> RHEL4 (version x86_64)

Hello,
Does anybody did a Networker server 7.2.1 migration from Tru64 to RHEL4 (version
x86_64)?
Should I re-create the media database using "scanner" utility?
Should I re-create indexes using "scanner" utility?

I saw somewhere that it's possible not to recreate indexes if both OSes are litle-endian.
Should be enough to copy index directories using OS commands.
What about media database?- is it enough to create a simple copy of it too?

I tried to copy media database and index directories to a Linux server from Tru64 in
the lab (seq like: create tar of media database and index directories, copy tar, extract
tar, install Networker server rpm's). After such steps:
- mminfo -a -m -v -s reported on RHEL the same thing as it was reporting on Tru64
- nsrck -L 6 did not reported any inconsistencies
- nsrck -mn did not reported any inconsistencies
Something else to check in addition?

I'm aware that it is an officially unsupported way to change the platform.

regards

Officially you should do mmrecov, but copying db between same endians should work fine too. Also export and import via uasm is another way, but you would do that only if support would officially suggest so.
