I'm looking at a 5.1 installation that had an old media server
attached (just for testing apparently).

I haven't been able to remove it from the environment.  Since it doesn't
exist, 'bpmedialist' hangs (trying to talk to it).  I have looked at
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/266720.htm, but it doesn't seem
to have solved my problem.

The server isn't present (and should have nothing associated with
it), so #1 doesn't do anything.  I don't see any signs of the server
relevant to #2 - #8.  (There was a STU referencing the media server, but
I deleted it several restarts ago.  There's no media referencing that
I'm aware of).

The server was not present in bp.conf, but I did try to remove it
from vm.conf.  When I restart the servers, the "DEVICE_HOST = xxx"
line is returned to vm.conf.

Since this is on unix, I even tried to brute-force look for what
might be referencing this host...

# find /usr/openv \( -name images -o -name logs \) -prune -o -type f
  -exec grep <mediaserver> {} +

The only files with evidence were vm.conf, logfiles in
netbackup/db/error, and some entries in a vault volume.list.  Could that
last one be responsible (I'm not particularly familiar with vault).

Any other things I should be looking for to remove this media server?

Thanks!
