Are you planning to copy your existing backup catalog (image database) over to the new environment? If so, then the master server name is buried in that database it's a far-from-casual process to rename the master server. There is no published process for it and Symantec will want to charge you for professional services to do this for you.
If you're just going to create a new master server with it's own database, then it's simply a matter of building a new environment. If you're going to do backups of one client to both environments, change the first SERVER entry in the client's bp.conf file, that's the one that should point to that client's master server. It really should only matter, though, for client initiated actions, like restores. A media server would be more complex, I'd suggest not trying to dual-master a media server. -M -----Original Message----- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of lookn4me Sent: Monday, February 22, 2010 6:37 AM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: [Veritas-bu] Steps to change Master Server Name I plan to replicate a production environment on a test server, but I need to change the master server name as the test environment will not be isolated.
