Hi Nick,
It depends on how you set up your CASO in the first place, and it sounds like you have centralised your database/catalogs etc. IN this case, when the CASO goes down, all MMS servers go down with it.
From my perspective, I set up the servers as distributed, and the CASO therefore becomes my central management server only. The main reason for this is due to slow links in Africa and Asia where we have multiple sites.
You can manually edit out the server from the CASO, but that amounts to editing your registry, so be very careful and sure you want to go that route. And before doing anything, backup your registry...
1. Open up regedit.exe, and go too: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Backup Exec For Windows\BEDatabase - make sure that has the local server name of your server in.
2. Same registry key, but under: \BE F W\Adamm: Database Server Name - make sure this is your local server name; PreviousDjmPrimaryServer - make sure this is your local server name.
3. Same registry key, but under: BE F W\Backup Exec\Server: DjmPrimary Server - change this to your local server name.
4. Restart your services for BEWS, and this will return your server to a stand-alone.
Let me know if you don't come right...
Laters!
