Migrating Netbackup from one domain to another

We recently just acquired a company B with a Netbackup Master Server and 2 media appliance. We would need to moves their solution into our own Netbackup solution so we have domain

Just wondering the steps involved in this and any advice?

    If you are going to "merge" Company B's Master into your own, you would need consultancy/professional services to assist with this as they have the tools to merge environment,  as it is unsupported by Symantec.

    As per TN ...

    Consulting Activities
    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH31385

    For advanced migrations, not covered or prohibited in the documents above, to insure data integrity and seamless operation, operations must be performed by a certified Symantec consultant or Consulting Partner, as they are not supported operations.

    Symantec has developed comprehensive methodologies to handle a variety of reconfiguration requirements including the following scenarios:

    • Migration from an existing master server to a NetBackup appliance master server
    • Merging of two or more domains
    • Splitting of a domain into two or more domains
    • Clustering of a non-clustered Master Server
    • Renaming of a Master Server or Media Server
    • Moving a Master Server to a new machine involving a host name change
    • Moving a Master Server to a different platform/operating system (Windows to Linux/Unix or Linux/Unix to Windows)
    • Un-clustering a clustered Master Server

     

     

    This activity (catalog Merge) cannot be done 'manually' - if attempted it will, for 100% certain, break.
