Veritas has no easy answer for this problem short of "rename the server, catalog all of the tapes", which is unacceptable, so I wanted to see if anyone out there has a better answer.
We have 6 WinNT Master/Media servers running NetBackup 3.4.1. We want to upgrade them to Win2K (actually we want to rebuild them, but the point is the same) and use the company's new naming scheme to name the servers. The old naming scheme was for another application that was sharing the NetBackup servers; we want to rename them to avoid confusion.
The short question is: Does anyone have any information on how to do this? Veritas says NetBackup writes the name of the Master/Media server into the catalogs so it is difficult, and requires a consulting contract, to rename a server.
Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks!
