Hi, 
Yes we had done it ones and it was ok.(5.1) 
I haven't test it with oracle restores but I think that you will not have
any problem.
Check if this is a media server first, because you need extra steps.

But you can leave the catalog as it is now and if you want a restore you can
go with alternate client restore.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Changing hostnames - mantaining images

Hi,

        We changed the hardware of a Oracle database, changing the hostname
too.

        In this moment the crosscheck are stopped to prevent the expiration
of the datafiles in the Rman repository.

        To re-enable the crosscheck, we need to "realocate" the images from
the old hostname no the new one,like the technote:
http://support.veritas.com/docs/241717

        The problem of this technote is that Symantec don't support it to
NBU 5.1, only 4.5, they say that it was designed to a ascii catalog,
although 4.5 can deal with a binary catalog.

        Anyone has applied this technote to 5.1?

Thanks in advance.

Juan
