Do a full backup before you upgrade. Make sure a copy of your indexes is included.
1) you need an update enabler for this upgrade. Organise it beforehand or at least be sure your boss will come up with the cash for one if you need to pay. I dont think these are necessarily "free" unless you have some kind of update support contract.
2) I am pretty sure that a one way index conversion is involved if I remember correctly. Once you upgrade your server, which should be the first step in any migration, it will be difficult to go back to the old version.
3) Allow 1 hour for migration per machine as a rough guide.
Index conversion can be lengthy (hours). The actual process of upgrading is pretty well documented across the various platforms.
4) I found it useful to copy the source client files from a distribution server,
eg rsync –a –e ssh“/root/LGTOclnt” / targethost:/root
rather than screw around with CD's on each machine.
5) General order of things to do is:
upgrade Networker server.
copy source files to distribution machine.
copy LGTOCLNT files to client machines (unix only)
check which legato packages are already installated on client.
stop networker daemons
remove existing package
pkgadd your client files
try a test restore.
delete source files on client
Good Luck!
