NetBackup™ Upgrade Guide

Notifications, Messages, and Resiliency configuration information are not upgraded

During the upgrade from a pre-NetBackup 10.0 environment to NetBackup 10.0 and later, previous notifications, messages, and Resiliency configuration information is not migrated. Any previously added Resiliency Domains are no longer present on the Resiliency tab in the NetBackup web interface.

You can reconfigure and rediscover the Resiliency information on the Resiliency tab by performing the steps that are shown in the referenced tech note. The Resiliency tab contains configuration information about the Cohesity Resiliency Platform (VRP) and all the data pertaining to that resiliency domain, including managed and unmanaged assets.

You must reconfigure after the upgrade completes to rediscover the resiliency domain data. Refer to the referenced tech note for additional information on how to reconfigure VRP after upgrading NetBackup to 10.0.

The information that is not migrated as a part of the NetBackup 10.0 upgrade is stored in these files:

  • vrp-h2-store.mv.db

  • messages-h2-store.mv.db

  • notifications-h2-store.mv.db

These files are preserved on the primary server in the following directories. These files remain in the specified location unless you remove them. You cannot use these files in a NetBackup to 10.0 or later environment:

  • Windows files:

    install_path\NetBackup\var\global\wmc\h2stores\vrp-h2-store.mv.db

    install_path\NetBackup\var\global\wmc\h2stores\messages\

    messages-h2-store.mv.db

    install_path\NetBackup\var\global\wmc\h2stores\notifications\

    notifications-h2-store.mv.db

  • Linux files:

    /usr/openv/var/global/wmc/h2stores/vrp-h2-store.mv.db

    /usr/openv/var/global/wmc/h2stores/messages/

    messages-h2-store.mv.db

    /usr/openv/var/global/wmc/h2stores/notifications/

    notifications-h2-store.mv.db
