Hi guys,
i have a backup environment with
1. Master Server:
OS: RHEL 6.6
NBU version: 7.6.1
2. Media Server:
NBU 5230 appliance
Version: 2.6.1
This is a newly build environment with no backup images (production). Only some test images are there.
My problem is that, i need to change the hostname of both the Master server and the media server.
one option is to rebuild the whole thing from scratch but i dont want to do it again as this environment is almost ready for production and most probably, it has to go to production by end of next week.
i know that changing a master server name is a job of Symatec authorized consultant. But in my case, there is no catalog/backup images to work with.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Only consulting can do it. It's to do with internal structures deep inside the Sybase ASA database.
Your only options are:
1) Get consulting in to do it.
2) Re-image, and re-configure.

Is it the host name or domain name ?
If its the domain name you MAY get away with it if you are using "short" host names.
Do a "nbemmcmd -listhosts -verbose'"
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH77462
For illustration:
MachineName = "ural" <-- Host using short name
FQName = "ural.acme.com"
MachineDescription = ""
MachineNbuType = server (6)

Nic, it is not the domain name.
I am trying to change the hostname...:(

What are you trying to salvage? If it just the policies you can TAR them and (/usr/openv/netbackup/db/class directory) then put them back in the same directory when the machine is reloaded. Other than that the rest of the config is kept in the DB.

You are out of luck then :(
Re-image and accept the cruel truth :D
