You can not simply change the name of your master server. You can change the IP address as long as everything was done by DNS, but the name MUST be the same.

At this point, you probably have created backups with both the old master server name and the new master server name. Depending on the number of old backup tapes, you can do a bpimport of the tapes, or you can re-install your master server again using the old name and then bpimport the new tapes.

Alternatively, you can contact Symantec and contract their professional services folks. However, you're working in a fairly old environment that isn't even supported any more so I don't know if their PS folks will touch it.
