Yes, many people have done this.
If your new media server will only be backing itself up, it should be a "SA=
N=20
Media Server".
If it will be backing up other clients over a LAN connection, it should be =
a=20
full "Media Server".
(It's only a licensing difference - the SAN Media Server is cheaper).
You then zone your two tape drives so that only your new media server can=
=20
see them, configure the drives to the O/S, then define them in NetBackup on=
=20
the new media server.
Then create a new storage unit with your media server as the media host.
Point the appropopriate policies at your new storage unit, and you're done.
As for your other 2 tape drives, if you want to share them between your new=
=20
media server and the master, you will need an SSO license for each drive.

Dean
