You could on the old master: do one catalogbackup, then delete all the devices,
and do second catalogbackup(to disk.
And use the last catalogbackup for recovery on the new master.. and then set up
devices like it should be.
I've done this successfully on an numerous sites. Not from W2000 to W2003
though...

Sounds like some sort of inconsistency.
Not sure what your plan is to move to a new master - Are you using
bprecover to restore everything back to the new platform? Ideally, it's
be better to restore everything to the new hardware, using the same
OS/NetBackup revisions from the previous master.
Either that, or delete and rebuild the global database. As I said, to
me; sounds like something is out of sync.
There is a section in the NetBackup Disaster Recovery plan about using
the bprecover and restoring the catalogs. Remember, retaining the same
IP / Server Name / OS / NetBackup / Patch Level is essential to the
success of this.

Hi All,

visible from OS level)and it throwed an error,
"could not get device configaration, cannot configure devices, see
troubleshoting guide for details (44) "
"device discovery failed on host <Master-server>"
tpautoconf -a gives "Fatal Global Database consistancy error"
