What I've done in the past is just change any policy using a storage unit for 
that media server to use a different one.   Later, I just changed it back.  You 
can also set the available drive count for that storage unit to 0 & do a 
"bpschedreq -read_stu_config ".  It's supposed to work to reread the storage 
units but I've had limited success with that.

If there's a risk to the media server's filesystems, you might want to move 
their media db (bpmedia -movedb) to another media server.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] only temorarily de-commissioning a media server


How can I minimize the effect of a media server temporarily ( 1 week) being out 
of commission in an SSO SAN environment?
I do not want to take any action that would require stop/starting netbackup. 
Perhaps I could change some timeouts??
