[Veritas-bu] Master/media server name change

Also...

If your drive setup looks strange after you have added the drives, move away
/usr/openv/volmgr/globDB and robotic_def and add robot and drives again with
ie vmadm.

restart netbackup.

On hpux, you can check these files by runing this command, they are not
regular text files:
# strings /usr/openv/volmgr/globDB

This will give you some output on which hostname that is active.
