Will the migration involve hostname change?
Or can the same hostname be kept?
Was NBU installed as shortname (e.g. Master) or as FQDN (e.g. Master.dom1)?

If hostname cannot stay exactly the same, you will need consulting services to assist with the migration.

See :

DOCUMENTATION: How to migrate the NetBackup catalog information from one platform to another (UNIX to Windows or vice versa), rename a Master Server, cluster an existing Master Server, or merge multiple NetBackup domains.

Marianne,

the last installation of the master- and media server has been done for us by a consultant, so I do not 
know whether NBU was installed as a shortname or FQDN.
How can I see which method has been used ?

The hostname will remain the same (of course will the FQDN change because of the domain-transition)

    Run these commands on the master:

    nbemmcmd -listhosts -verbose

    nbemmcmd -getemmserver

      For obvious reasons I changed the accountname and servernames:
      Output:

      C:\Users\nbu-admin>nbemmcmd -listhosts -verbose
      NBEMMCMD, Version: 7.5.0.7
      The following hosts were found:

      MachineNbuType = server (6)
      masterserver
      ClusterName = ""
      MachineName = "masterserver"
      FQName = "masterserver.old.domain.net"

      And:

      These hosts were found in this domain: masterserver, mediaserver

        It seems you are good to go as Master and EMM name is shortname.

        The FQName field can be updated with nbemmcmd command.
