Is this a Windows environment? I don't know if other OS's are different
but in Windows you would have to decommission the Media Server from the
original Master and then bring it on line as a new media server on the
new Master. Make sure you expire all of the images associated with the
media server before you remove it from the original config. Once that
media server owns no tapes, you can take it home if you want.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Media Server Migration
I would be interested in hearing thoughts on migrating a 5.1 Media
server from a legacy 5.1 Master to a new, different 6.5 Master server.
Would this require formally decommissioning the 5.1 media server via the
5.1 master then reinstalling 6.5 media server under the new 6.5 Master?
Or is there a faster, easier way to migrate while maintaining media and
image integrity?

Good discussion, as I am looking at "MIGRATION" from 5.1 Server to NEW
Server 6.5.2
My onyl concerns I have in the back of my head is how to move a Media
Server that is on 5.1 over to 6.5.2
Anyone done a migration from an old system to a new one?
Not too worried about the old robot or catalog, as this is all being
replaced. If need be, I will have to import.
Some systems are SQL, Oracle based online media servers
Thanks,
Simon

Yeah! Cheap shots at Symantec are reserved for those of us who have
spent many restless nights fighting Netbackup. =P
Just my .02 - Migrated several Windows 2000 5.1 environments to 6.0 MP4
and then to 6.5.1, 6.5.2 and 6.5.2a. Although there have been issues,
I've only had to apply one engineering binary to one environment that
had an issue with calendar backups. Maybe I'm just lucky (or maybe
Symantec doesn't test on Non-Windows OS =P) but from my experience I
think 5.1, 6.0 MP4, 6.51+ are all stable products.

Watch out for this one with 6.5.1 on Windows:

The technote says that this is fixed in 6.5.2. <http://6.5.2./>
Right now I'm caught between that one and the completely broken
6.5.2A -
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/305609.htm
The technote says that there's an EEB available for this. 6.5.2A is
*NOT completely broken. Many years, us included, are running it in full
production.
You'd think they'd test this stuff before release by ,say,
trying to run a
backup or something...
This has been discussed before. Your comment is unwarranted and low
shots like this don't encourage Symantec employees or other users to
help you.
