Catalog migration - procedure

Hi, I am trying to upgrade my NBU Master and Media Server which is on version 7.7.1 in AWS to the new version 8.1 also in AWS. Anyone knows the exact procedure / steps for me to migrate the NBU cat...
7.7
Windows Server 2016

    Migration and upgrade are 2 independent steps.

    To migrate to another server, you will install the same NBU 7.7.x version on the new server, using the same hostname as current master server. Then you will perform catalog recovery from old server onto new server. 

    See :
    Using catalog backup and recovery to transfer NetBackup catalogs between Windows master servers as part of a hardware refresh :

    Once NBU is running fine on new server, start planning NBU upgrade to 8.1.x.

Yes Marianne .. i need to move it to a new master server. That is why I don't think it is that straightforward. Thus that is why I am enquiring on catalog migration.

    Thanks Marianne . I believe this is more clearer.
