Netbackup Master Server Upgrade

AKrovel
Not applicable
I plan to upgrade the backup server to new hardware, OS and Netbackup 6.5.4. What is the best procedure for this? Should I install the new server with the same name and restore the Netbackup-catalog to the new server?

I have the following setup:

HP ProLiant DL380 G4
Windows Server 2003 Standard (X86)
Symantec Netbackup 6.5 MP5

This is what I have available for the new server:

HP Proliant DL380 G6
Windows Server 2008 Standard (X64)
Symantec Netbackup 6.5.4

I sound like a good way to do it if you're catalog size isn't very large.  You will also need this tech note when performing the catalog restore:

DOCUMENTATION: How to create a blank NetBackup NBDB database for the recovery of the NetBackup NBDB ...

Some steps are easy overlooked but critical to make the restore work (hence the restore testing).
