NetBackup no longer supports HP-UX and AIX platforms for master and media servers
Starting with version 8.1.2, NetBackup no longer supports HP-UX and AIX platforms for master and media servers. However, NetBackup still supports clients that run on HP-UX and AIX platforms.
Veritas has developed the NbServerMigrator tool to help you migrate your master servers that run on HP-UX or AIX platforms to a NetBackup Appliance or to any supported NetBackup master server platform except Windows. See the NetBackup Master Server Migration Guide.
You can download the NbServerMigrator tool from the following link:

Media server migration is a manual procedure. To migrate the media server from HP-UX or AIX platform to a NetBackup Appliance or to any supported NetBackup media server platform except Windows, see the NetBackup Media Server Migration Guide.
