HP has let the cat out of the bag and unveiled the next version of HP Data Protector 8.1. Some new cool stuff will be added and of course the platform and integration enhancements we already have seen with DP 7.03. The new “advanced” scheduler will be my favorite. And what I have read between the lines: Will the new reporting stuff included too? The complete announcement (or forward-looking statement) can be read here: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/hp-news/press-release.html?id=1531367.
The new version will be introduced in December at HP Discover, the download becomes available in January 2014. DP 8.0 environments must be upgraded to 8.1 to get the new features.
Hello,
Any news about the new release ? Will be a new full installation or a patch ( bundle … ) ?
Thks..

Hi Diogo,
the new version is not yet available for download.
In any case, it will be a minor version, therefore it comes as full installation – no patch bundle.

Could you help me, please?

Hi Mafy,
unfortunately I did not try to rename a current cell server with version 8.X0 so far.
I have a unverified document from support on how to import a database into a new server. So you may ask Support to get help on that.
However, the general question will be, why would it be necessary to rename the server name. Maybe you can explain that and a workaround is available.
Best regards
Daniel
