Why are you changing the name? That is the part that requires PS. If you
leave the name the same it?s easy. Build the same OS on the new server move
the database over then upgrade to the new OS. Of course this is done in
stages to make sure everything is stable before moving to next step. IMHO.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Migrate master server to new hardware


We are about to migrate our NetBackup master server from old hardware to a
new and at the same time upgrade from SLES9 to SLES10 and do a hostname
change. The server is a pure master and have no connections to disk or tape.
It is connected to 5 media servers.

Is there a best practice for these kind of migration? Can it be done with a
DR?

Did some googling and found a post over at the official Symantec forum that
Symantec support can not assist in these kind of operations and you should
contact Syamantec Consulting Service.

These kind of migrations must be done frequently around NetBackup customers
so I am hoping there are some NetBackup gurus out there that's been through
this before that could give me some good advices?

Regards
Fredrik Lindgren
