[Veritas-bu] Master Server Migration

Morning All,

We’re in the process of migrating our Master Servers to new hardware and a new OS.

We’re running Netbackup 7.0.1 on Windows 2003 x32 but need to change to new hardware witch has been built with Windows 2008 R2 x64.

We have a cutover plan so we keep the server name and IP address the same on the new 2008 box so in the end the master server will look the same but just on new hardware and on Windows 2008 R2 x64.

So the question is, if we take a catalog backup of the existing master can we use it to rebuild the master server once the server is up with the same IP, name and Netbackup 7.0.1 x64 installed ?

More importantly are there any down sides to this method or gotcha’s?

Regards

Kevin
