I plan to replicate a production environment on a test server, but I need to change the master server name as the test environment will not be isolated. Anyone out there have success with the process? The environment is Netbackup 5.1 MP4 on solaris 9 and 10 OS.

It's doable but very definitely not for the faint of heart and it changes every release. What you do

in 5.MP4 will definitely not work in 6.x.

A long-time Symantec employee was talking at the last customer forum and said that it takes 30 steps, IN EXACTLY THE RIGHT ORDER, to rename a master server. Get one step wrong or out of order and you get to restore and start over. For this reason, Symantec is currently refusing to document the process because can (and have in the past) shot themselves in the feet (and then reloaded :-)). A supported procedure to rename a master has been requested

We did it back in 3.4, changing platforms at the same time, We didn't get in 1 run either - we found out what was wrong and then started again another day, completing it successfully.
