You don’t have any great options. The most supportable option,
although time consuming, is to take all of your images/tapes from the expiring
master and import them on the new master.
Don’t forget that with NetBackup 5, you also have distributed
media databases. That’s going to make the merging uglier if you’re not able to
do imports.
There are probably options that are available if you are able to
pay for Symantec Professional Services.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] is it possible to integrate 2 master server
databases into 1?
We have two solaris master servers runnning netbackup 5. We
would like to integrate these into one master server. Is it possible to
integrate one of the master serrvers catalog into another master server so that
we have just one master server and one catalog.
The data in the catalogs has infinite retention so we cannot
wait for the data to expire and one of the master servers must be
decomissioned.
