How to Migrate Netbackup Master/media Server to one physical machine to another with same OS

[Moaz_Anjum]

Dear All,

I need to move the master server from current machine to another machine, kindly recommend a solution considering below facts:

• Master server contains all NBU roles (it is the only server NBU in my backup environment) on the this machine.
• Current machine is Dell’s r720 rack mount server with Dell’s tape library attached to it directly via FC, master server is running on windows server 2012 r2 64bit
• The Second machine to which i need to migrate is Dell’s T5400 tower server with a functional FC card attached, windows server 2012 r2 64bit installed.
• I will keep the same computer name, IP address of master server as current master server.

Kindly help ASAP.

Regards,

Moaz Anjum

You can use this TN to migrate to new hardware:

Just another 2c from my side; I prefer to use USB drive as DSU for catalog backup for this kind of migration. Copy DR-file to USB drive as well. After catalog backup, connect USB drive to same drive letter on new server for catalog restore.
