[Veritas-bu] Steps to change Master Server Name
2010-02-22 14:24:31
Yes you correct, I am looking to copy the catalog and its database to the new
host in order to test upgrading and locate break/fix issues prior to the
upgrade. I need to have as much of the master server functionality as
possible. The question I have is what needs to be done in 5.1 MP4 version to
change master server entries in the associated databases?
Surprising this is an issue in Netbackup if one had to DR a box to a different
hostname, the inability to name the master something else.
