This is not true all your images will be intact on server Y. The catch 22 is
that to do backups, all of your clients will have to configured for the new
Master. First install Netbackup on Server Y and run the bprecover just note
the destination_host is where the new server name will be plugged in.
The bprecover command that I would use:
bprecover -r ALL -m media_ID -d density [-stdout] [-dhost <destination_host>]
I have done this in the past to recover Exchange in a test environment and the
master had a different name, and it worked.
Have you called Veritas Support on this yet???

Sen,
I agree with Simon... Your catalogs were created with server "X"....
They
will NOT function on server "Y" without going through imports, and a
bunch
of headaches. You'll be money ahead if you leave the server names
alone......
Just my .02
