That was my initial thought building new servers and upgrading.

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 -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I GoodSearch for Bundles Of Love: http://www.goodsearch.com/?charityid=821118 From: Conner, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2007 9:24 AM To: Ed Wilts; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Changing Domains for Master and Media Server Ed, I guess I'll put it this way, because this is basically what we will be doing...

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. .../Ed -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I GoodSearch for Bundles Of Love: http://www.goodsearch.com/?charityid=821118 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Conner, Mike Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2007 8:23 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu 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
