Our customer has a large NBU in production where the master and one media servers are on Solaris 10 .

As the prices of x86 servers are pushing down, they'd like to migrate the Master server to X86 either on Windows or Linux.

Will the procedure documented  http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH77447  work for Solaris to windows as well?

Have a look at this Symantec Technote:

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.

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH31385

 

However there are many other operations that customers may need to perform at some point that require including migrating the NetBackup catalog information from one primary platform to another (UNIX to Windows or vice versa), rename a Master Server or Media Server, cluster an existing Master Server, or merge multiple NetBackup domains that should not be attempted without the assistance of a Symantec certified NetBackup consultant, either a Symantec consultant or a certified consultant from a Symantec Consulting Partner
