Media Server Offline

Hello Experts,

We have one media server that is having issues so we want to make it offline for some time.

I have deactivated it from Devices=>Media Servers.

So is it fine approach or need to do something else before doing this step?

Plesase help.

That would seem to be the right thing to do. The media server will remain in that state until re-activated. What you can also do is check for any backup policies or SLPs which use any storage units that are private to that one media server. Another thing to consider might be to also temporarily remove any storage units of the problem media server from any storage unit groups.

Why not set the media server to ADMIN_PAUSE state. You could achieve this by running following command

nbemmcmd -updatehost -machinename <media_server> -machinetype media -machinestateop set_admin_pause -masterserver <master_server>

When you want to clear ADMIN_PAUSE status run following command

nbemmcmd -updatehost -machinename <media_server> -machinetype media -machinestateop clr_admin_pause_and_set_active -masterserver <master_server>

 

Hope it helps.
