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_2.6.pdf or NBA_to_Flex_All_in_one_migration.pdf " whichever is applicable.
This section applies only if the user wants to migrate the primary server (same-name migration) using NBServerMigrator 2.5 or 2.6 version.
Important Note:
Before migrating from old (Sybase) database (NetBackup 8.1.2-10.1.1) to the new (PostgreSQL) database in NetBackup (10.2.0.1-10.5.0.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:
