I would like to know if a Media Server can be promoted to be a Master Server, provided the case that the master server is down.
Please advise and/or provide documentation in reference.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I belive that is not possible, but if you want go ahead you could re-install media server as Master server and start the recovery catalog ==> See this TN - NetBackup 8.0 Troubleshooting Guide - https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000116408
Of Course that there are others steps to perform, therefore take a look this suggestion below..
But, I really would like suggest you to contact Veritas Consulting and Consulting Partners as recommended by this TN: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.TECH31385

I cant see how that would be possible. They perform different functions. Unless you want to rename the media server to the name of the master server, clear and reinstall all the software and then perform catalog recovery, etc..

Hello,
You can not promote media server as Master server. You have to decommission the media server and reconfigure the server as Master server from scratch. Old master server and new master server must be identical. You can use different IP or OS version only.
