This issue has been solved. See solution.
I want to convert a UNIX SOLARIS 10 Master/Media server with NetBackup 7.1 from Unix to Windows.
Any advice? Are there any procedures documented on this?

Hi,
This can only be done with a Symantec Partner who offeres the service.
It cannot be done 'in house' or by Technical support
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH31385
The differencies in the database between unix and windows require special tools to complete the job correctly.
It is NOT supported to attempt this manually / inhouse, and doing so will possibly lead to dataloss and a system in such a state that Symantec will be unable to repair.

Martin
