Buck:

I have done this several times.  Combining masters can be a tricky, very
tricky thing (if there are media servers involved).  The first place I would
point you is to the Troubleshooting Guide, Appendix A - Functional Overview.
If you can understand the functional overview completely, you should be
prepared to combine the masters. Its worth mentioning a second time...are
these masters also MEDIA Servers?

The key is to understand what is REALLY affected between your servers and
how you will actually need to affect your new databases once the merge is
complete.

As you can see, I don't have an outline that you can follow, simply because
it is somewhat unique per site.  But I will say again that the Functional
Overview is critical.

Let me know what the environment looks like and I'll try to guide you as
much as possible.

Subject:        Combining MBU master servers

Hi there
I have been told you may be able to help me or point me in the right
direction. I have a customer that currently has two NetBackup Master
servers. They are in two separate STK libraries. We would like to move them
to a new library and combine the two "master servers" into one. Has anyone
there ever done anything like this in the past. What are the major concerns.
What is the best way to handle this.

Thank you for your help
