Catalog recovery, appliance to own build...
Is it supported to perform a catalog recovery from an Appliance based catalog backup to a new own build master? Assumng I use the same mount-point folder names, then I can't see what would stop this...

Thanks eduncan - yes name will remain same.
Marianne - thank you as ever, great point as usual... my thinking is that want to keep the original 5230 as pristine as possible as my roll-back point (I will get networks team to permanently down/down the LAN switch NICs) (but leave IPMI) at the appropriate time... so... now I can't help but ask whether you know that I should remove the defunct (after all backups have expired) MSDP disk pool and storage server entries because if I don't then my restored master on a VM will be unusable? I mean, I was going to remove the defunct storage unit and disk pool and storage server after the catalog recovery.
Hopefully you can test the procedure in a lab environment first.
I seem to remember horror stories of how people tried to clean up with disk being removed without following all the recommended steps. In the end they had to log support call for SQL scripts to remove orphaned entries...

Yup - am definitely intending to do the whole thing in a lab first - to build the work plan for production.
