Hello Nagalla ,

The DOCS are stating that need to provide same master Serever Name and IP address, but in our case we are giving the name and IP as different. Can you please sugget me how to proced with this.

hi John,

if you are going to rename the master server also as a part of refresh... the only method you have is to get the Symantec technical support or symatec authorized conslutant.

symatec does not recommend the users to do the master server rename.

Please read through both TNs that Nagalla provided.

You will see that the second TN states that Master server hostname change is a consulting engagement.

IP address change is fine, but not hostname change, as the master server hostname is deeply embedded in server databases and therefore requires a specialist to change this hostname.
