Hello,
I've read some of the other posts about changing the Master Server domain name, but I did not come across an example where it is possible. Marianne has been very clear about using shortname for Master Servers and aliasing FQDN, but the server in question was a part of an acquisition and its creation was out of my hands. I've used Symantec's Professional Services to merge Backup Domains in the past, with positive results, but in this case we cannot justify the expense.
1. Is this server configured so we can modify the domain? ( MachineName = "back01", MachineNbuType = master (3) )
[root@back01 admincmd]# ./nbemmcmd -listhosts -verbose
NBEMMCMD, Version: 7.5.0.6
The following hosts were found:
back01
MachineName = "back01"
FQName = "back01.old_domain.net"
MachineDescription = ""
MachineNbuType = server (6)
back01
ClusterName = ""
MachineName = "back01"
FQName = "back01.old_domain.net"
GlobalDriveSeed = "VEND:#.:PROD:#.:IDX"
LocalDriveSeed = ""
MachineDescription = ""
MachineFlags = 0x67
MachineNbuType = master (3)
MachineState = active for tape and disk jobs (14)
NetBackupVersion = 7.5.0.6 (750600)
OperatingSystem = linux (16)
ScanAbility = 5
2. If so, our plan is to:
- Use nbemmcmd to update the alias - MachineName = "back01" - FQName = "back01.new_domain.net"
- Take a full catalog backup
- Rebuild the server - to add the server to the new domain, correct file permission issues, and get a clean install
- Restore the catalog
Does this seem achievable?
3. If this is all incorrect, would someone please share an `nbemmcmd -listhosts -verbose` output where domain migration is possible?
Thank you!
