    I have personally done this a couple of months ago.

    The requirements and process is described in this TN: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH77448

    Care has to be taken that hostname and paths are the same. On Solaris, the default installation is /opt/openv with symbolic link to /usr/openv. On Linux, the default installation path is /usr/openv.
    Create up-front symbolic link the other way round or else specify installation path as /opt (this is what I did during migration exercise).

    Restore job details as well as log in  /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/user_ops/root/logs/Recover#### needs to be checked to confirm that all catalog components have been restored successfully.

Thank you Marianne,

It seems to wok fine without doing anything else.

Restroe job of this night has completed normally and all catalogs datas seems to be right here.

So, I confirm we can migrate Master Server catalogs 7.1.x from Solaris 10 (SPARC) to Linux SLES11 (vitrualized) wihtout any issues.

This operation have been performed with same servename (master) and same links than original.

Best regards
