The simplest way is to leave the original master name on the clients.  When you 
do a restore - the client check if the sending master is permitted.  If it is, 
it usually works.  At least it did for us.

        Anyone ever try to change the hostname of their
        master/media server on netbackup 4.5?  I've heard that
        it might break the ability to do restores since it
        records the media server in the catalog images.
        
        Assuming all the clients can be pointed to the new
        master server name, does anyone know what kinda of
        pain this will cause in netbackup (like restores)?
        
        I suppose I could put a dns alias in place, but
        Veritas seems to picky about reverse ip records
        pointing to propper locations I'm not sure if it will
        work.
