replying to myself. yes doable.
i'll deploy a Windows based media server so it's easier when it comes to drivers of the hard disks. :-)

I read your opening post and cringed when I saw the word "temporarily"....
You want to add setup another media server, add new server to clients, configure another MSDP pool, another Storage Unit, new SLPs, modify policies "temporarily"?
Will you also share tape drives for duplication purposes "temporarily"?
Have you read up and document how to decommission media servers and remove MSDP?
Please consider following advice in your other post
how to manually reclaim dedup space
rather than standing up a new MSDP media server. "temporarily". (Sorry... couldn't resist.)
You seem to have a number of database clients - Oracle and SQL.
Have you read up in the Appliance Performance Tuning Guide how database backups should be configured to ensure good dedupe rates? There is a section for each DB type with do's and don'ts to ensure optimum dedupe rates.
dedup rates is not my issue now. i have from 98% to 99% dedup rates for Oracle and SQL.
my issue right now is hard disk space. yeah i'm in the corner now that's why i'll do anything to increase "temporarily" my space.
I hope for your sake this task does not create more headaches than it will solve...
