I think all you really need to do is add a couple of lines to your old
domains bp.conf

FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = oldserver newserver

This will tell NBU that if a request to restore a backup done on the
oldserver should be managed by the new server.

Personally I'd like to know what you maxed out the old server couldn't
handle being the Master any more.  I really can't think of anything but disk
space.

Maybe there is a way to keep the old domain and just expanding it, but
that's just me rambling.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] bpimage command


Does any kind sole out there have any documentation of the bpimage command?

Here is my dilemma:  We are currently running NBU 3.1.1.  I currently have
one master and seven slave servers  with each slave server connected to a
STK 9710 with 10 drives.  The Volume database is stored on the master.  Due
to backup volume, we have maxed out resources in our current master and must
divide our environment.  The plan is to take three of the current slave
servers and move them into the new domain.  My problem is I currently have
tapes in these slave servers with active data on them.  I would like to be
able to remove these tapes and put them in the STK's staying with the old
master.  I think the bpimage command will help, but I need more information
on exactly what this command does.  Any help or advice would be appreciated.
