Sorry if there's repetition here, but I've searched the archives and 
I've seen a bunch
of stuff, mostly associated with master servers, and I'm not sure my 
question is answered,
and I want to make sure that I'm thoroughly prepared.

I'm preparing to do an upgrade this weekend where we have to move some 
services
from our media server to new hardware, and the name has to travel with 
the services.
My tape library has to remain attached to the old box, so I have to 
change the
hostname of my media server.  The software will all stay intact, just 
the name will
change.  I've seen another article mentioning that I just have to change 
the name
in netbackup, and do a bpmedia -movedb for each piece of media.  That seems
pretty straightforward.  Is that all I need to do?  Any other caveats?  
Should I also
take the time to set up a dns cname so I don't have to do this again?

Or am I missing the ball completely?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
