Move Master (Device) server to another domain

[CConsult]

Hi,

I want to move the master server to another domain. It is installed with FQDN.

Do I have to change any db entries for the move?

What other things do I have to consider?

Thanks for your help.

Netbackup 7.6.0.2

Windows Server 2012 R2

Please show us output of
nbemmcmd -listhosts -verbose
and
nbemmcmd -getemmserver
 

If master name in NBU is master.domain1, then it cannot be changed to master.domain2 unless you purchase Consulting services from a partner with Catalog Manipulation certification.

The above will be see as a hostname change.

If NBU on master is installed as master with an alias in EMM for master.domain1, then all is good as the alias can easily be removed and re-added.
