You need to remove it from the Global Device Database (I am assuming you are 
not on 6.0 yet).  Go to Media and Device management, and expand hosts.  Click 
on the decommissioned media server (just click on stop or cancel if it is 
trying to contact the media server).  Go to the window with the tape drives, 
highlight them, right click and then delete.  After that you should be able to 
right click on the media server name and click remove device host.  You may be 
able to just remove the device host directly without removing the drives first, 
I just like to make sure it is clean.  I am also assuming you have moved any 
tapes owned by that media server to a new host?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] remove devices from dead media server


ok.....on a roll with stupid questions today.
 
I had a media server in my lab, and once it was built up, and functionality 
tested, it just got torn down and moved.
So I removed the storage units, and policys and the media server references in 
the master server preferences, but I forgot to remove the actual drives that 
were attached/configured on the media server....so now the media server is gone 
and the master still has references to the devices....anytime I try to access 
them, the GUI just spins trying to contact the missing media server, and 
tpconfig on the master doesn't show the devices......what's the quick and dirty 
way to get rid of the devices from the master?
