I need some help with a future change in our domain. Actually we are using production network to do client backups.
All clients and media servers are using production domain FQDNs, in order to avoid network congestion during backups we are going to use a new domain (xxx.backup) and all the backups should be done using this new network.
Here are my thoughts:
-In order to restore clients, I think I can manage it as stated in https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/can-netbackup-merge-client-data-new-name . I mean, We need to change client´s bp.conf file for backups and for restores use the altpath or the relinking method.
-About media servers, I have the following doubt:
-Should I keep the same name in the emm and add a new alias for the server plus configuring network routes in order to force the backup traffic to use the backup interface?
-About the change in our master server I´m very worried. We have two master servers acting as an active/passive cluster using VCS. Virtual name is NOT using FQDN name (let´s say is called "netbackup") but cluster members name are like "servername.domain.com". Do we need Symantec professional services or we can go ahead as netbackup is not using the FQDN??
Maybe none of this is necessary and just configure the REQUIRED_INTERFACE property in all bp.conf files as we are going to keep the current domain infrastructure.
