Yes, I need to bring my database/catalog over to the new server.
Thank you for all your responses.

Been there…. Done that…..
As have we - were successful back on NBU 3.4 going from
Windows to Solaris. We changed host names while we were at it.
If you want to bring your database with you, then yes, you
will need to use Symantec services to do the migration… otherwise they will not
support you… or so they told me.
If you are able to successfully
complete your upgrade, Symantec will support you after that. What they
can't do is support you during the migration itself because there are a LOT of
ways it can (and will) go wrong and these breakages are typically going to be
well beyond 1st or 2nd level tech support.
This is a very complex migration and I don't recall seeing any postings from
anybody who has completed a cross-platform migration since NBU 6.x was released
(which introduced EMM).
Unless you have a very strong technical ability to hack binary files and a
fairly good knowledge of NetBackup internals, I would recommend that you not do
this without paying for Symantec (or 3rd party) professional services.
It's doable but it's HARD.
