[Veritas-bu] Master server...Hardware migration

Greetings good people.

Long time lurker, first time caller so to speak. So thanks in advance

Currently running 2 x NBU master domains(prod,nonprod). Both NBU 6.5.2 on 2k3 x64 enterprise in a master/media active/passive MSCS clusters.

There is the need however to do some hardware juggling.

The plan in a nutshell is:

-To migrate the few nonprod clients onto the prod.

-Recycle the non prod cluster into stand alone media servers for prod. Nonprod DBs can be lost.

-Create a new active/passive master server cluster on new hardware.

-Restore hot DB bak to new hardware with old shutdown (rollback)

-Recycle old prod hardware to media servers prod.

-Rebuild nonprod next fiscal maybe (new test environment).

My question is regarding the taboo regarding changing host names for master servers.

Since I am running NBU as a clustered app do I only need to keep the “Netbackup virtual server name” the same in my master move?

Do the actual node host names of the cluster affect Netbackup?

And of course

Am I missing anything else or are there any gotchas I should be made aware of?

Still pretty new to NBU so your comments, insights and suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks again
