Can? Yes. Supported? No (without Symantec professional services).
What many people have found to be much easier is to build a brand new master
server at the new release level (you're back a major version anyway) and
then start migrating clients to the new environment. In your case, you'd
have to build a new media server too. I've never taken this approach and
don't know how to solve the shared tape library issue.

Ed, I guess I'll put it this way, because this is basically what we will be
doing.
Can you successfully change a master server's name - and according to your
message - no, it can not be done.

Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Changing Domains for Master and Media Server
I think we're getting confused by the term "domain" since they mean
different things within Active Directory than they do within NetBackup.
NetBackup doesn't care Activate Directory domains - it typically runs as
local user system and does not authenticate to AD at all.
If your DNS domain changes, you're in a world of hurt. Changing the host
name of the master server is not supported. If you're at NetBackup 6.0,
changing media servers becomes much easier but it's not trivial in 5.1 since
the media server owns the tapes - you can't just drop a server out and add a
new one. Each client also has an entry for both the master and media
servers so if those change, you'll need to visit every client (both Windows
and non-Windows).
You need to be clear on what changes you want to do - do you want to change
your AD domain, or your DNS domain? If the latter, you've got a lot of work
to do. If the former, I don't think much needs to be done.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Changing Domains for Master and Media Server
Hey everyone, I have another issue that I'm seeking guidance on since
Veritas technical support is basically useless.
Netbackup 5.1 MP6 - Windows 2000
We have currently created a new domain with a new Active Directory. The new
domain has a trust relationship with the current domain but eventually, all
servers will be migrated to the new domain. This will mean that I will have
to change our domain for our master and media server.
Will the application be able to run if switched? Are there any registry
changes that need to be made? What steps? Is there any documentation?
I'm worried about this because I'm afraid it's going to mess up our catalog
because we are using FQDNs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
