Moving a Master Server to a new machine involving a host name change

Hi Team,

We are planning to migrate the Netbackup server from old hardware to new Hardware. But we are planning to change the new server name and also planning to upgrade the Netbackup version ( from 7.5.7 to 7.7.1). Please guide me what are all steps I need to take care before doing this.

Note: - There are no media server on current Netbackup server. It has only local disk storage ( 4 TB). The new one have 16 TB by MSDP.

Both are same OS version ( Red hat Linux )

Thanks for your advance help.

    You cannot change server name without Veritas Consulting involvement.  That is not a do-it-yourself task.

    another words, all the mentioned options are available, but you need to pay for them, right?

      Hi vivashki 

      You should reallt start a new thread rather than tacking on to a previously resolved issue. 

      When you start the thread - describe some more details around what you are wanting to do. There may be options available that do not require Veritas services (not many mind). 

      Cheers
      David
