HOW TO: Decommission a Netbackup 5220 Appliance in Media Server config
Hello Folks,
I am looking for a documented process on how to decomission a Netbackup 5220 Appliance which is configured as a Media Server to a clustered Master Server.
5220: v2.5.1
Master Server: NBU 7.5.0.4
The 5220 has advanced disk pool and MSDP setup on the appliance and also has tape out.
We will likely be decomissioning it and then do a factory reset and set it up as a new Master Server......BUT looking for steps to decommision it properly from the Master Server first.
I have looked at the Appliance Admin Guide and there is a procedure there to decomission an Appliance Media Server from another Appliance Master Server, which is not appliable in my case.
Could someone direct me to high-level steps needed to decommission the 5220 Appliance Media Server.
Thanks.

Firstly - what about the images on the advanced disk pool and MSDP?
Do you still need these images or can they be expired?
Decommissioning will be no different to any other MSDP media server.See http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH150431
