it's taking time so i cancelled and re-run the install script. this time it timed out after a few seconds. continuing, it spewed out the following messages. i can only guess that it's because i didn't start the installation in a separate network from the production NBU.

hostname is "test-nbu" (not same sa NBU master name).
during install, it asked for master server name. i provided the same name as the current production master server.
don't recall it asking me for EMM name.
There is no point in carrying on if hostname does not match the original master name.
Master server daemons and processes will not start and you will not be able to recover the catalog.
The way you are installing is for a media server.
