Decommissioning media server and tape library
I've read the articles and am just a bit confused about the order of the steps for this. I have an old media server that's still on 7.5 with a tape library attached. These need to be decommissioned. I have already set up a new tape library on another media server that is running 8.0. I need to move all the tapes from the old TLD and Media Server to the new TLD and Media Server and decommission both the old TLD and old media server. I don't want to start the process without understanding the steps I need to take.
nbdecommission is honestly all that you need.
nbdecommission will transfer all media and image ownership to the 'newserver', remove all devices associated with this media server plus remove all references to this media server.
To understand what the tool is actually doing, please read through this documentation in NBU Admin Guide I:
