In the masters bp.conf you should put the lines
SERVER = a1
SERVER = a1-bk
SERVER = b1-bk
FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = b1 b1-bk
FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = a1 a1-bk
REQUIRED_INTERFACE = a1-bk
CLIENT_NAME = a1-bk
alos execute this command

ln -s /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/a1 /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/a1-bk
ln -s /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/b1 /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/b1-bk

on the media serever

SERVER = a1-bk
SERVER = b1-bk
REQUIRED_INTERFACE = b1-bk
CLIENT_NAME = a1-bk

on all clients make sure you set the bp.conf or using the netbackup
configuration gui

Set the master to a1-bk and a server to b1-bk and REQUIRED_INTERFACE to
server-bk

that should help

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Changing master server name


As long as the name of your master/media servers are 
going to maintain the original name, you should be okay.

What you do need to do however, is make sure that a1-bk 
and b1-bk are in the bp.conf files of all your 
netbackup clients and servers.  

As far as the database goes, since you aren't 'chaning' 
the name of the master server you should be okay.
