    To answer your original question, no, a media server can only 'belong' to one master.

    no issues, as long as your master server can handel the media server load too...

    and media server can not serve 2 master server at same time...

    but in your case , i can suggest one thing...

    1)keep all media server configuration on old master server as it is.

    2) in media server add new master server name as SERVER = <master server name>

    change the EMM server name also as your new master serer name

    3)add media server name in new master server bp.conf

    4) recycle the media server netbackup once

    you should be able to configure the media server in new master server , and when ever you need to use the media server under old master server.. you need to change the emmserver entry in media server bp.conf and recyle the netbackup.

    CAUTION:- you need to make sure you are not using the same media(tapes) and Disk STU in new master server that you were using in old one... ( you should freeze them in new master)
