    The only way this can be done is via a Symantec Partner who offers this consulting service.

    Let's make it three employees giving you the same answer:  Please don't attempt this.  Bring in an authorised consultant if you must do this.

    Now, would you like to ask again?  ;-)

    I just asked my hampster (his name is Hammy) he also confirmed that you have to use a Symantec partner.

    Actually, he said "squeek squeek", but I have translated ...

    :o)

    More seriously, it is impossible to do this without the exact instructions/ scripts.  Any attempt to try this will result in a very very broken system, and very possibly data loss.

    Catalog recovery across primary platform(one is UNIX/Linux, and another is Windows) is not supported.

    Some Symantec Partners(let's say Top Gun) can provide such servic with assistance of Symantec, users can not do it themselves.

    if migration target is UNIX/Linux, you can migrate from Solaris yourself following the instructions of this document.

    This is not only platform migration but also a merge of two masters on different platforms. There is NO 'catalog import' tool/utility. ONLY way to do this is with assistance of Consulting Partner.
