Current backup/media server platform:

     Sun SPARCserver 1000 (8x85MHz, 1GB memory)
     Solaris 2.5.1
     NetBackup 3.1
     StorageTek 9714 tape library (4 x DLT7000)

I want to move the backup/media server to another platform:

     Sun E3500 (4x336MHz, 2GB memory, 4 empty Sbus slots)
     Solaris 7
     upgrade NetBackup to version 3.4
     attach same library

The hostname will *not* move - the new server has a different hostname.

Has anybody performed a similar rehost? What are the steps to take and what
are the major issues?
