I need a solution
Hi, I know there have already been several questions regarding this, but I'm still a little unclear on the solution.
We are planning to perform a windows domain migration for our Netbackup servers (7.1 which performs the current backups and 5.1 which is kept for legacy restores)
From what I've already read, if our NBU install was performed using shortnames instead of FQDNs, then I should be able to change the domain of the servers and all should be good. However I'm still a little unclear as to how they were installed. I've got the following from running "nbemmcmd -listhosts -verbose" on our NBU 7.1 master server:
BEMMCMD, Version:7.1.0.4
The following hosts were found:
backup1
MachineName = "backup1"
FQName = "backup1.domain.com"
MachineDescription = ""
MachineNbuType = server (6)
backup1
ClusterName = ""
MachineName = "backup1"
FQName = "backup1.domain.com"
GlobalDriveSeed = "VEND:#.:PROD:#.:IDX"
LocalDriveSeed = ""
MachineDescription = ""
MachineFlags = 0x5
MachineNbuType = master (3)
MachineState = active for tape and disk jobs (14)
NetBackupVersion = 7.1.0.4 (710400)
OperatingSystem = windows (11)
ScanAbility = 5
backup2
ClusterName = ""
MachineName = "backup2"
FQName = "backup2.live.co.uk"
LocalDriveSeed = ""
MachineDescription = ""
MachineFlags = 0x5
MachineNbuType = media (1)
MachineState = active for tape and disk jobs (14)
MasterServerName = "backup1"
NetBackupVersion = 7.1.0.4 (710400)
OperatingSystem = windows (11)
ScanAbility = 5
restore1.contoso.net
ClusterName = ""
MachineName = "restore1.contoso.net"
FQName = "restore1.contoso.net"
LocalDriveSeed = ""
MachineDescription = ""
MachineFlags = 0x4
MachineNbuType = media (1)
MachineState = active for disk jobs (12)
MasterServerName = "backup1"
NetBackupVersion = 7.1.0.4 (710400)
OperatingSystem = windows (11)
ScanAbility = 5
Command completed successfully.
I'm guessing that because the FQName is a FQDN rather than a simple hostname, it was installed with FQDNs instead of hostnames? Which means that we need to go for a completely new install?
The above command does not seem to work on out 5.1 environment, is there a way of finding out how this was installed?
Many thanks in advance
