Are you planning to copy your existing backup catalog (image database)
over to the new environment?  If so, then the master server name is
buried in that database it's a far-from-casual process to rename the
master server.  There is no published process for it and Symantec will
want to charge you for professional services to do this for you.

If you're just going to create a new master server with it's own
database, then it's simply a matter of building a new environment. 

If you're going to do backups of one client to both environments, change
the first SERVER entry in the client's bp.conf file, that's the one that
should point to that client's master server.  It really should only
matter, though, for client initiated actions, like restores.

A media server would be more complex, I'd suggest not trying to
dual-master a media server.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Steps to change Master Server Name


I plan to replicate a production environment on a test server, but I
need to change the master server name as the test environment will not
be isolated.  Anyone out there have success with the process?  The
environment is Netbackup 5.1 MP4 on solaris 9 and 10 OS.
