Disable Removable storage in Windows Master server

[spj]

I am running 2003 r2 on dell 6850 with netbackup 6.5.  It is the master server.  Should the removable storage be disabled on the master server?  I 've seen some write up that it should be disabled on the media server.

I would recommend to disable if connected to tape libary enclosures.
On a master it serves no purpose. All handling is done by NetBackup, and can cause problems with your tape library if set to Automatic or manual.

The Netbackup Enterprise Media Manager (EMM) service does not start automatically upon a reboot of a Windows master server.

Cause:
If RSM is enabled and allowed to discover the devices it can cause conflicts  with the EMM "Enterprise Media Manager
These conflicts can cause the service not to start.
