In any case, in a SAN environment, you cannot have 2 backup servers, even
though they may be talking to different storage volume.

Anyway, one solution given to me was to adjust the startup script
(/etc/init.d/networker) so that backup server daemon nsrd is not started on
the storage node when used as client. Of course, when used as backup server
to the old library, stop nsr and uncomment off nsrd in the startup script
again.
