Here are a few things I would do if I were in your place. Take what
works and pitch the rest...
=20
I would build out the new master with a different name to start with.
That way you can get it on the network and transfer the appropriate data
from the old to the new.
=20
NBU is nice in that all of the executables and libraries are contained
within the base dir. Install NBU in the new host (mostly for the package
info database - if you want it). Remove the contents on the new host
leaving the base dir. Share out /usr/openv on the old. Mount it on the
new and use cpio or tar to copy over the files within /usr/openv. Make
sure you get the rc scripts properly placed on the new master. Take the
old master to single-user and change the host name. Drop it to the ok
prompt. Change the host name on the new master and reboot it. You will
need to manually configure your devices. You can use tpautoconf -a
(/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tpautoconf) if you feel lucky. tpconfig if you do
not.
=20
Files to change a host name on Solaris:
/etc/nodename
/etc/inet/hosts
/etc/net/ti*/hosts
=20
This was not penned with a lot of thinking, but hopefully I have given
you enough to get it started.
=20
HTH and good luck,
=20

Well..............=20

We are now in a fire fighting mode.......=20

There are jobs hanging all over the place!  And it looks like a issue
with the env and not really a NBU issue....=20

We have the following env:=20

1 Sun 2.6 master 220r 2 gig ram 2 cpu(s) controlling 16 media
servers.......=20

We have available a 440r 8 gig ram 4 cpu(s).....=20

I need a start on how to move NBU from the 220r to the 440r....=20

Note:  Keeping the same hostname.....=20
