As part of upgrading my environment from SCSI to FC, I want to upgrade =
the hardware on my NetBackup master server (the only NBU server in my =
environment). Clearly, I'd like not to expire the media written by the =
old master server. Is the best way to manage this to simply to perform a =
recovery on my new hardware?=20

I don't really care about my old class configuration. Can I just do a =
fresh install of NBU and immediately copy the /usr/openv/netbackup/db =
and /usr/openv/volmgr/database files to the new server? It seems to me =
that this will allow me to provide the new host with an appropriate new =
configuration while still retaining access to the media written by the =
old server. Is this wrong-headed?

As a somewhat related note, is it possible for two master servers to =
share a volDB to facilitate using the 'bpmedia -movedb' command?

Thanks in advance,
Benson Miller
