I think you could build a new media server (new name), before removing
the media server from the app server.  Then use "bpmedia -movedb" to
change ownership of all backup images owned by the old media server, to
the new media server.  Then decommission the app server media server.
 
I haven't tried this though and am waiting for someone to shoot me down
in flames...

Subject: [Veritas-bu] renaming a media server



My application support person, if all of their wisdom, wants to have
their app server rebuilt but remove media server from it. Originally it
was made a media server coexisting with the app because of the TBs of
data it was to house. They want to keep the same host name for their app
so I would have to change the host name for the "new" media server. Is
there any way of keeping all previous backups in renaming a media server
WITHOUT importing the media afterward?

 

Thanks in advance.
