I built our DR server environment recently and, as you found, the
catalogue wouldn't restore as the hostname is different so I
re-installed the NetBackup software and entered the prod server name as
the master server then the DR server name as an 'additional server'. You
could possibly add the 'Additional Server then use the 'Make Master'
button in the 'Master Server Properties' instead.


The following link may also be of use but isn't exactly what you are
trying to do:-

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Hot catalog restore in NBU 6.0

I didnt get any replies on this, looks like not many admins plan to
restore HOT catalog backup to a different master server. 

FYI, Symantec doesnt support it. But they also dont support restoring
cold catalog backup to a new master server, even though bprecover
provides a switch
(-dhost) to do it and I have done it many times.
