Moving Netbackup Master Server to a new domain

[f-ro]

Hello everybody,

I would like to move our NetBackup Master Server (7.7.3) to a new domain. As mentioned in other topics, I already ran the following commands:

nbemmcmd.exe -listhosts -verbose
NBEMMCMD, Version: 7.7.3
The following hosts were found:
backup00
        MachineName = "backup00"
        FQName = "backup00.OLD-DOMAIN.de"
        MachineDescription = ""
        MachineNbuType = server (6)
backup00
        ClusterName = ""
        MachineName = "backup00"
        FQName = "backup00.OLD-DOMAIN.de"
        GlobalDriveSeed = "VEND:#.:PROD:#.:IDX"
        LocalDriveSeed = ""
        MachineDescription = ""
        MachineFlags = 0x7
        MachineNbuType = master (3)
        MachineState = active for tape and disk jobs (14)
        NetBackupVersion = 7.7.3.0 (773000)
        OperatingSystem = windows (11)
        ScanAbility = 5

nbemmcmd.exe -getemmserver
NBEMMCMD, Version: 7.7.3
These hosts were found in this domain: backup00
Checking with the host "backup00"...
Server Type     Host Version         Host Name                      EMM Server
MASTER          7.7                  backup00                       backup00.OLD-DOMAIN.de

I also already found this topic: https://vox.veritas.com/t5/NetBackup/how-to-change-FQname-with-nbemmcmd/td-p/371027

In the solution of that topic, step 2 says to "change the Primary name to FQDN". This means, that the "MachineName" is changed, right? But all I want is to change the "FQName" as follows:

nbemmcmd.exe -listhosts -verbose
NBEMMCMD, Version: 7.7.3
The following hosts were found:
backup00
        MachineName = "backup00"
        FQName = "backup00.NEW-DOMAIN.de"
        MachineDescription = ""
        MachineNbuType = server (6)
backup00
        ClusterName = ""
        MachineName = "backup00"
        FQName = "backup00.NEW-DOMAIN.de"
        GlobalDriveSeed = "VEND:#.:PROD:#.:IDX"
        LocalDriveSeed = ""
        MachineDescription = ""
        MachineFlags = 0x7
        MachineNbuType = master (3)
        MachineState = active for tape and disk jobs (14)
        NetBackupVersion = 7.7.3.0 (773000)
        OperatingSystem = windows (11)
        ScanAbility = 5

nbemmcmd.exe -getemmserver
NBEMMCMD, Version: 7.7.3
These hosts were found in this domain: backup00
Checking with the host "backup00"...
Server Type     Host Version         Host Name                      EMM Server
MASTER          7.7                  backup00                       backup00.NEW-DOMAIN.de

What steps are needed, to have the result mentioned above? Do I have to clear the host cache with "bpclntcmd -clear_host_cache"?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Hello,

The EMM server configure with FQDN. You need to contact consulting team to migrate the Master server. 

Server Type     Host Version         Host Name                      EMM Server
MASTER          7.7                  backup00                       backup00.NEW-DOMAIN.de

The reference forum thread is regarding to media server rename. The media server do not maintain the Database so migration is easy compare to Master server.

Note: We always recommend to configure the Master server with shortname so customer can migrate the Master server from one domain to another domain.

Thank you for your answer.

I somehow thought that if the Host Name/ Machinename does not contain the domain, I can easily move the server to another domain. But it seems to make a difference, whether you want to change the domain of a master server vs. a media server?!
