Change Master - Media server to only Master
I have Unix Master server acting as Master and Media Server, I want to make it as Master server only and not Master and Media server
- Amin,
All you need to do is configure another media server and use it instead!
I suppose that is oversimplifying things... you will need move any assigned media to the new media server, decommission any storage units, etc.
Symantec have a tool to accomplish this for NBU > 6.5.3, and a method for NBU =<6.5.3. Follow directions here:

My only concern for this method / tool, is that they make no mention of decommissioning the media server component of an existing Master server. Does the entire NBU install on the Media server get trashed????
Best test this before implementing in production. Additionally, a full catalog backup, and a fresh Master Server DR procedure would be very good to have as well.
