Huh?
Should be easy, I'd think. Why would I need Tech Support?
I would think that converting one would mean renaming the master server.
At last week's NetBackup Customer Forum in Roseville, at the "Ask the Wizards" session, I again raised the question of when Symantec would support us renaming a master server. The answer was "when it requires less than 15 steps on a Windows server - and those steps have to be done in *exactly* the right order." Apparently it's down to 10 steps if you edit the registry, which means you're unsupported by both Symantec and Microsoft :-). We didn't discuss how easier or harder it would be on *nix.
Has anyone done this?
BTW: also converting from Solaris to Linux at the same time if I can
pull this off...
Unofficially, apparently there are no differences in the binary format of the catalog between Solaris and Linux. EMM might be another story. Now I would expect you (or somebody) to eventually test this. And then report back, because I'm thinking about a Solaris to Linux migration too :-)
