[Veritas-bu] Merging Master servers

[ida3248b@post.cybercity.dk]

Hello Greg

I have done something similar from a windows master to a Solaris under NBU 
4.5, what we did was copying the relevant db/images on to new master, put a 
FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER entry in bp.conf. As a security measure we frozen 
all the tapes written by the old master. In your case I think you should be 
able to copy the mediaDB from the Linux media server to Solaris media server.

Try to use the archive search, I'm pretty that a detailed procedure for 
merging masters was posted on the this list

Regards
Michael

any restore request to go to this new media server that will replace the
