    All netbackup components will remain the same except storage unit.
    The only item you will need to add is a new storage unit with the "Use WORM" check box selected. Or change the existing storage unit and enable "use worm".

    I prefer to have two storage units, one with worm enabled and one with worm disabled. I find it handy to have two storage units. There are backups you may not need to be worm or for tests.

something you are doing wrong. All media servers must be available for all storage units targeted to the same storage server.

I always use "only the following media servers," and I select all media servers.
This is because if you add an external media server to the storage server config, e.g., for duplication targets, it will automatically be part of media server load balancing and you do not want that.

This is strange because "any available media server" is the default setting for the default msdp storage unit. I'll try to change it to "use selected" and then free one of the media and use it for a new stu. I'll update on this.
