If it's just a media server, and not the master server, you can "move" the
tape info using the bpmedia command.
bpmedia -movedb -m <tapenum> -oldserver <old_server> -newserver <new_server>
You can use the "bpmedialist -mlist -h <old_server>" command to find all the
tapes assigned to the old server.
If you want, you can move them to the master server, replace your old
server, then move them to the new server later.
If you're actually talking master-server to master-server conversion, then
you're right to import the tapes on the new master.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Moving media server - reading tapes.
I've got about 60 tapes I need to move to a new media server (replacing old
hardware). Does anyone know, if I import the tapes on the new media server,
do they become unusable in the old server? That is to say, could I use them
in the old server (if needed) without having to reimport them back so long
as I haven't used them for backups on the new server?
Thanks.
