Following your other thread (https://vox.veritas.com/discussions/netbackup/platform-migration-netbackup-appliance-5240-to-rhel-9/907691 ), you need to decide how you will proceed. Depending on that decision, there are different solutions to this problem.
If the target master server will be a new master server starting from scratch, follow the instructions provided by bhdrkzltn.
However, if the target master server is a BYO master server with the database replicated from the old master server, this approach will not work.
In your old environment, you need to:
- Create a new media server (physical or VM) with storage, and duplicate the images from the master server to the media server’s storage.
- Expire all backups from the old master server — but be careful not to expire them from the media server.
- Move the master server to the BYO system.
- (Optional) Duplicate the backups from the media server to the new master server and then decommission the temporary media server.
If I were you, I would consider installing the BYO master server on a VM (with only the master role) and keeping the physical system as a media server.
