Migrating NetVault Server from Hybrid to Pure environment

Currently you can install NetVault Server in Hybrid and Pure environment on supported Windows and Linux operating systems. This feature helps you migrate from Windows or Linux NetVault Server Hybrid (32-bit) to a Pure environment (64-bit). This migration lets you use all of the available system resources of a 64-bit OS, which increases the capability to use NetVault.

•
NetVault supports migration on the servers where NetVault hybrid is installed on Windows or Linux 64-bit Operating System (OS). For more information, see Migrating NetVault Server in GUI mode or Migrating NetVault Server in unattended mode.
•
If NetVault Server Hybrid is installed on 32-bit OS, you must migrate this hybrid environment to a 64-bit OS. For more information, see https://support.quest.com/netvault/kb/261119/migrating-netvault-server.

Migration Prerequisites

•
Operating System (OS) must be 64 bit.
•
Migration is supported from NetVault 11.4.5 or later version. For migrating an earlier version of NetVault Server Hybrid environment to Pure environment, you must first upgrade the NetVault Server to 11.4.5 or later hybrid version.
