    If I may ask - have you tried NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I  ? 

    Chapter 6:

    Managing media servers

    This chapter includes the following topics:
    ■ Activating or deactivating a media server
    ■ Adding a media server
    ■ About decommissioning a media server
    ■ Previewing references to a media server
    ■ Decommissioning a media server
    ■ Registering a media server
    ■ Deleting all devices from a media server
    ■ Removing a device host from the EMM database

    After above steps, confirm that media server shows up correctly in this command on the master server : nbemmcmd - listhosts -verbose At this point you are ready to add storage devices for this media server.

    Thank you Mariaane. I have checked "adding a media server" and taken the points.

    Overall steps - 

    While installing Media server, I have mentioned master server name.
    Ping is working fine from master server to media server and vice versa
    nslookup from host names are working fine . reverse lookup (from IP) is not working ( that I will fix it).


    In Netbackup Master Server console -
    go to Host Properties - select master server and go to its properties
    Select server -> add media server name in "Additional servers" and "media server" tabs

    Re-Start NetBackup services on the Master Server
    Re-start NetBackup services on the Media Server

    Start configuring the storage server by choosing media server name.

    please suggest if this is correct or anything I need to add ..
