Maybe someone on the list can come up with a possible
solution? Like you, its not good paying £££ for support, and then possibly MORE
for consultancy, when its more than likely the Last Line of Defence "could" do
it.... but come up with the idea of using external consultants to be told what
to do, only ... they dont know for sure how its done !
Not saying that is what they DO, but last year had to pay
an IBM consultant for 3 days work, and for what... nothing... as he never fixed
our problem, let alone know how to use it !!

Had to go out
to the web and figure out the conversion rate J but yes,
that?s the going rate here too. The guy walks over, still wiping chocolate
from his face from the mints that were left on his $250/night pillow and pushes
a button. It?s like getting your phone connected for the first time.
They?re sitting right there at the keyboard and they can activate it in seconds
but they schedule you for a week from Thursday. Forget to pay your bill and it?s
disconnected instantaneously. But when it?s the only game in town, what
can you do?

Yeah, I don?t
remember that slide in the original sales pitch. It?s like buying a car
and the dealership locks the hood and only their mechanic has the key and the
wiper fluid has run low. I can?t justify this cost to my Management.
I?m having trouble believing it myself.

I find
it odd that in an old NBU 5.0 article with the same problem as you stated, that
veritas (at the time !) suggested the same thing....
Note:
If you are using
NetBackup Vault and plan to decommission a media server, it is recommended that
you contact VERITAS Consulting for help with this task.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Media Server
Retirement in 6.0
Windows across the board, 6.0 MP1, and I want to retire 3
media servers. Sounds easy enough, right? According to the
documentation, and verified by Symantec Technical Support, because I am using
NetBackup Vault, I need to avail myself with the services of a Symantec
Consultant to do this for me. That's all I got from them.
My boss is already having me
compare other backup products because of the maintenance check we write every
year for NetBackup. Now I have to go to him and say, "I know you're
tired of paying Symantec all that money and I know you thought we were going to
cut cost by getting rid of 3 of our media servers but guess what? We have
to pay Symantec to come over and turn them off for us."
It can't be that difficult, can
it? Can someone point me to some documentation, blogs, guidelines, NBU
gypsy tarot reader who might guide me in the right
direction?
Thanks in
advance,
Randy
