You want to go from a windows master to a Unix master...... ho boy! Been there.... Done that.....
If you want to bring your database with you, then yes, you will need to use Symantec services to do the migration... otherwise they will not support you... or so they told me. I had issues with that... don't know if it was because we were going to AIX, but we could not get it to work. They said they had done this before on Linux. I ended up..... Keeping my windows master until all tapes expired on it. I created my new aix master fresh. Added it to all the clients and made it their master (also added the new media servers). And started doing backups on the new environment (upgraded clients after we had it working) The clients still had the old master name in their server list. If I had to do restore, I just did it from the old master/media server. Once all tapes were expired. I took down the old windows server. And any time we were in a client properties, we would remove the old server names from the reference.
