We've migrated the master server twice:
Sun Ultra10/Solaris7 -> Sun E5500/Solaris8 -> Another E5500/Solaris8
At the time of migration, we did a fresh NetBackup database
backup and transferred the data to the new server with:
bprecover -r -tpath /dev/rmt/0cbn -dhost <newhost>.
Be sure to ONLY recover the master server files to the
new master.  You may have to delete devices and reconfigure
the new server with vmconf and tpconfig.

Have done several of these.

You should be able to move the databases over without 
issue.  I don't remember any major caveats between HP 
and Solaris.  If you'd rather use bprecover you can do 
that too. No need to configure the new server first, 
just do it after you have recovered the databases, then 
TEST backups, restores, etc.

Take your time and plan your work out first, then keep 
to that plan as you execute each step.
