Hi
What you have done will work fine, and Veritas TS have told customers they can
do this in the past. I think whoever you were speaking to got confused - the
prodecure for moving catalogs TO A DIFFERENT MASTER SERVER is the complicated
one!
NBU doesn't use anything special to access it's catalogs - they are just files.
Another alternative would be to create a new LV and mount it directly under
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/ - just make sure that this LV is mounted BEFORE
you start netbackup.
Hope this helps...
