   Agreeed. And almost immediately, don't be too afraid to do it. I have 
switched my Master Server off of a Media Server to a new system, and then 
swapped out the other Media Server for a new one. I plan to do it again, too! 
:7)
   My set-up was pretty simple -- two Solaris 2.6 Media Servers (one which was 
also the Master Server), each with an L9 tape library attached -- so if your 
situation has greater complexity, it may make this impossible.

   I called the Veritas support line and patiently let the guy tell me how the 
sky was going to fall if I tried this -- and then he emailed me a list of the 
steps to take. Give them a call and they'll probably tell you. (I know it's 
cowardly, but *I* am not going to be the person who gives you the rope to hang 
yourself.)

   That's true enough. Roughly speaking, you pretend to have a server failure 
and then "recover" onto the new server.
