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 – no, it can not be done.

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 Domains for Master and Media Server
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
