Migrate two master servers

[franchev]

Hello,

It is possible to migrate two master servers for Netbackup version 7.1? Ideally, I need to make a master server (let's name it server A) a media server on another master server (server B). I know that I can do that by re-installing netbackup on server A and install it as a media server on server B. however, is there anyway to retain the policies from server A or to add them to Server B by doing a recovery netbackup catalog. 

Thanks a bunch

Seems you need to merge  master servers? You may be able to restore the policies from another master server, but what about the images? And the media info?

You need assistance from Symantec Consulting partner.

See http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH31385 :

Symantec has developed comprehensive methodologies to handle a variety of reconfiguration requirements including the following scenarios:

• Migration from an existing master server to a NetBackup appliance master server
• Merging of two or more domains
• Splitting of a domain into two or more domains
• Clustering of a non-clustered Master Server
• Renaming of a Master Server or Media Server
• Moving a Master Server to a new machine involving a host name change
• Moving a Master Server to a different platform/operating system (Windows to Linux/Unix or Linux/Unix to Windows)
• Un-clustering a clustered Master Server

A number of Symantec consultants and Consulting Partners worldwide have been trained on these procedures and certified to deliver them in accordance with standards required by the Symantec technical support organization.
