You could try forcing the media for that set of backups over to the master
server's control.  

      /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpmedia -movedb -ev media_id
           -newserver hostname [-oldserver hostname] [-v]

I've never tried it for RMAN but it works for regular restores.

You can ID the media for your images using the "bpimagelist -media" option
with enough other options to localize to your backup set.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Oracle alternate client restore: using master as
restore server


I successfully restored a HOT RMAN backup to an alternate host.
During this process it used the original media server (that performed
the backup) to do the restore. I would like to use the master server
as the restore host instead so that my Production environment is left
totally out of the loop.  In the past I've used the bp.conf entry
"FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER" on normal file restores, but the damn
thing restored the files to the Master server as opposed to the 
specified client destination (maybe this is a java gui bug).  I was
curious if anyone knew of any other options I have.

Thanks.
