Netbackup Master Server Migration from Linux machine to Appliance
I have a query Folks,
Can we migrate Master Server from Linux machine to Appliance.
Problem:
Currenlty, I have Environment where Master server is running on Linux Machine and Appliance is configured as Media Server. A new appliance is bought, And now We want to migrate our master server on that new appliance. Is it possible.
Yes. It is possible.
Prepare the new Appliance as a master with same hostname and preferrably same IP address and same NBU version as current master server.
Switch off current master after the last catalog backup, make DR-file and backup device/media containing catalog backup available to Appliance master, then perform catalog recovery.
Using catalog backup and recovery to transfer NetBackup catalogs between UNIX or Linux master servers as part of a hardware refresh
