Mark,
 
I've been searching the web and the Admin guide for anything that might
conceivably be called a "catalog consistency check" and I have come up
empty. Is this a manual process (yikes!) or is there a command that does
this? I'm doing an upgrade this week and a catalog consistency check sounds
like a good step to add to the plan.

If you can afford it, get a veritas consultant. If it goes wrong they may
well charge you anyway to fix it.
 
At a high level:-
 
1. stop all activity on netbackup (stop bprd)
2. do a catalog consistency check
3. fix any problems with the catalog so its clean
4. backup the database to tape
5. on client properties add the new server name, so when you switch you
still have access
6. shutdown netbackup
7. copy the volume database, the media database and the image database to
the new machine
8. ensure any tuneables or tuneable files such as SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS are
copied over
9. move the access to the robot/drives to the new host
10. start netbackup on new master
11. change the databases to reflect the new master/media server ( various
steps within this )
12. do some catalog restore queries to see if image access is working.
13. do actual restores to see if media/image databases 'work'
14. do some local master backups ( use test media, incase media database is
incorrect )
15. do some restores from those test backups
16. on client properties, select all and change master name
17. run some real backups
18. finished
 
it at any step beyond 11 you see issues, stop before you get to 17 and you
can fallback without having overwritten any 'live' tapes.
 
regards
mark

I have a SUN V880 server that has both the master and media netbackup server
on the same machine.  Unfortunately it has other apps on it as well and the
machines resources are being tapped out.  

I need to move netbackup off of this machine and on to a new machine.  All
of the clients will stay the same,  just need to move the master/media
server to a new machine.  Can I get some suggestions on the best
practices/methods for doing this.  

Thank you in advance.
