Agreeed. And almost immediately, don't be too afraid to do it. I have
switched my Master Server off of a Media Server to a new system, and then
swapped out the other Media Server for a new one. I plan to do it again, too!
:7)
My set-up was pretty simple -- two Solaris 2.6 Media Servers (one which was
also the Master Server), each with an L9 tape library attached -- so if your
situation has greater complexity, it may make this impossible.

I called the Veritas support line and patiently let the guy tell me how the
sky was going to fall if I tried this -- and then he emailed me a list of the
steps to take. Give them a call and they'll probably tell you. (I know it's
cowardly, but *I* am not going to be the person who gives you the rope to hang
yourself.)

That's true enough. Roughly speaking, you pretend to have a server failure
and then "recover" onto the new server.
