Has anyone used the “nbdecommission”
command to decommission a media server? Any comments or advice on it?
Thanks

timing out after retiring a media server
Looks like I missed a few key steps.
Luckily, I can bring the old Media Server back up and take care of this.
Thanks for all the help…

What process or procedure did you use?
It sounds like you may have to use bpmedia
command and specify the media ID from the <retired_server> to your Master
Server.
Take a look at this: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH52021
An extract from the document under Step 3:
If both <old_server>
and <new_server> are at
NetBackup 6.0MP7 or later, or NetBackup 6.5.2 or later, run the following
command:
bpmedia -movedb -allvolumes
-oldserver <old_server> -newserver <new_server>

timing out after retiring a media server
All:
Our
environment, HP-UX 11-31 currently running one master / media server on
NetBackup 6.5.2. We are running mostly unix / Linux backups and a couple
windows b/u’s thrown in for good measure.
We were
running with a master and a media server and have retired the media
server. I have changed all the policies to use the master as the media
server and am having no problems with backups. The problem is when I try
to restore something that was backed up when we had the separate media
server. For the Source Client in the restore gui, if I don’t point
to the old media server, I don’t see the files that I need to
restore. If I point to the old media server, I see everything I need but
because the machine is down, the restore times out.
Did I
miss something in the process of retiring the media server that is causing
this? Anyone have any ideas / suggestions?
Thanks in
advance….
