Mike,
Unfortunately if they existed they would
be like gold dust and in turn Symantec would be out of pocket. I pretty much
figured it out for myself.
If you do decide to go down that route I
would strongly suggest you totally understand what you are doing, if in doubt don’t
do it.
Regards
Dave

Dave,
Where did you find steps
or documentation on this?
Thanks

Just to add, we successfully migrated a
master server to new hardware with a new name, personally I think the procedure
it not complicated at all,just an understanding of the various DB’s
within 5.1. However we did indeed have a Symantec PS chap on site in
order for it to be supported, just a way of making money as we planned and
carried out the work anyway whilst your man didn’t particular add anything.
Nevertheless it is certainly possible,
and would rather have a master server adhering to a new naming convention than
messing about with host files, alias’s etc.

That was my initial
thought building new servers and upgrading.

Can?
Yes. Supported? No (without Symantec professional services).
What many people
have found to be much easier is to build a brand new master server at the new
release level (you’re back a major version anyway) and then start
migrating clients to the new environment. In your case, you’d have
to build a new media server too. I’ve never taken this
approach and don’t know how to solve the shared tape library issue.

Ed, I guess I’ll
put it this way, because this is basically what we will be doing…
Can you successfully
change a master server’s name – and according to your message

I think we’re
getting confused by the term “domain” since they mean different
things within Active Directory than they do within NetBackup.
NetBackup
doesn’t care Activate Directory domains – it typically runs as
local user system and does not authenticate to AD at all.
If your DNS domain
changes, you’re in a world of hurt. Changing the host name of the
master server is not supported. If you’re at NetBackup 6.0,
changing media servers becomes much easier but it’s not trivial in 5.1
since the media server owns the tapes – you can’t just drop a
server out and add a new one. Each client also has an entry for both the
master and media servers so if those change, you’ll need to visit every
client (both Windows and non-Windows).
You need to be clear
on what changes you want to do – do you want to change your AD domain, or
your DNS domain? If the latter, you’ve got a lot of work to
do. If the former, I don’t think much needs to be done.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Changing

Hey everyone, I have
another issue that I’m seeking guidance on since Veritas technical
support is basically useless.
Netbackup 5.1 MP6 –
Windows 2000
We have currently created
a new domain with a new Active Directory. The new domain has a trust
relationship with the current domain but eventually, all servers will be
migrated to the new domain. This will mean that I will have to change our
domain for our master and media server.
Will the application be
able to run if switched? Are there any registry changes that need to be
made? What steps? Is there any documentation?
I’m worried about
this because I’m afraid it’s going to mess up our catalog because
we are using FQDNs.
Any help would be greatly
appreciated…
Thanks
Mike
