Following on from this. I have a need to change a master server on one site
to be the same name as the master server on another site. This is so i can
transfer the netbackup databases from one site to the other. Transfer some
tapes and then be able to know whats on each tape.

This is for a Disaster recovery scenario where we have 2 sites. Client names
are different on each site though.

Any thoughts on a procedure?

Netbackup 3.2 GA on Solaris 8 with an L1000 storage unit with 4 DLT drives

Thanks

Don't do it!!!! Not if you intend on being able to restore images backed up
using the old hostname. Although, yes, you would have to reconfigure each
client to point to your new master server, but that's the least of it. The
real problem is that the hostname of the master server is deeply embedded in
your database catalogs.
