Migrating Catalog off Appliance 5220

The issue was resolved by doing the following, thanks to Symantec:

1) As with any DR, the hostname must be the same and the NBU version on both servers must be the same.

For example, if the appliance is 2.5.3, the non appliance must be 7.5.0.6 to match.

2) The symlinks must be set up on the non-appliance server

# netbackup stop

# bpps -a

(ensure nothing is running)

# mkdir -p /cat/{db,nbdb}

# mv /usr/openv/db/* /cat/nbdb

# mv /usr/openv/netbackup/db/* /cat/db

# rm -rf /usr/openv/db/ /usr/openv/netbackup/db/

# ln -s /cat/nbdb /usr/openv/db

# ln -s /cat/db /usr/openv/netbackup/db

# netbackup start

3) At this point, the catalog restore should be successful.
