How to Use the NBServerMigrator tool

For Installation/Uninstallation Instructions and Usage of NBServerMigrator tool please refer "NetBackup_Primary_Server_Migration_2.5_Guide.pdf  or NetBackup_primary_server_migrator_update_2.5.pdf " whichever is applicable.

 

This section applies only if the user wants to migrate the primary server (same-name migration).

Important Note:

Before migrating from old (Sybase) database (NetBackup 8.1.2-10.1.1) to the new (PostgreSQL) database in NetBackup (10.2.0.1-10.4.0.X), it is recommended  to run data validation by utilizing the UTF-8 Checker Tool at the source Primary Server.

 

NetBackup UTF-8 Checker Tool for NBServerMigrator

This tool serves the purpose of identifying any invalid UTF-8 characters within the NetBackup database before migrating to the new database in NetBackup 10.2.0.1 or above. It specifically detects invalid UTF-8 characters without altering any files or system settings. The tool examines records for non UTF-8 byte sequences and reports them, preventing migration failures caused by invalid or non UTF-8 character.

 

Review the following article for more information on UTF-8 Checker Tool:
