Adding FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER is the easiest way to do this. To
do this more permanently you would run both of the following commands:
=20
Bpimage -oldserver servername -newserver servername (This
will change the image catalogs to point to the new server that will be
used for restore - The old media server does not have to exist to do
this)
Bpmedia -oldserver servername -newserver servername (This
will move the mediaDB entries from the old server to the new server that
will be used for retores - The old media server must exist to do this.
If it does not but you have the old mediaDB still then you can
concatenate the old media server mediaDB to the media server mediaDB
that will be doing the restores. If you do not have the old mediaDB
then you can have tech support run NBCC and recreate it for you)
=20
As for the DR situation you can use vault to do all of the duplications
and subsequent restores on a single media server as long as all of the
media servers are attached to the same library.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] media server failure
=20
Ok.
=20
so you've had a media server fail and you need to perform restores from
your master/media, or another media server.
=20
I believe someone on the list at one time suggested all that was
required was to add the FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER to the bp.conf on
whichever media server will now be performing the restores, and start
restoring.
=20
Now I've come across docs that mention moving the media info from the
"old" media server to the "new" media server....assuming the old media
server is still alive....in preparation for decommisioning a media
server......and mention is also made that if the old media server is
dead, then you're in for a world of hurt.
=20
What's the real dirt?
=20
I will be testing this soon, but I'd like to line things up properly so
I don't spend a week chasing my tail.
=20
In my env, I want more media servers for the I/O bandwidth....more
network in and more FC out.....my current master is bogging down...but
all I want the media servers for is dumb data movers.
I'd like to have as little as possible tied to the media
server.....also, in a DR situation where I will not have 4-5 media
servers duplicated, I want to be able to do all restores from a single
standalone master/media if neccesary.
=20
Thanks,
Paul
