I am undertaking the task of migrating a windows media server and want
to give the basic outline just in case I have  missed anything.
 
Just to add the new media server will be performing the exact same task
as the old media server , windows 2000 to windows 2003
 
1. zone drives so new media server has visibility 
2. reboot new media server 
3. configure drives on new media server
4. Add device host and configure new drives on the master
5. Update SSO
6. Create STU's
7. List all media associated with old media server and move to
standalone then apply the below on the same media
    bpmedia -movedb -m <media_id> -newserver <hostname> [-oldserver
<hostname>]
8. Inventory new media
9. Change all policies using old media server stu's to reflect new
10. To avoid  FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER being implemented on the old
media server  , get a list of all backupid's associated with old media
server and apply the below to all
    bpimage: -newserver <name> [-oldserver <name>] [-id <id>]
11. Decomission old media server when ready
 
Q
1. The new media server can currently see two test drives in the same
library as what the production drives are in , all drives are stk 9940A
and B's , all media servers using the same ACSLS host for robotic   
    control. Upon zoning in the new drives and rebooting the new media
server , should it be as straight forward as running C:\program
files\veritas\volmgr\bin\scan to get all the new drive info or is there
more that 
    needs to be done for visibility of the new drives ?
 
Regards
