We have customers that have been running clustered Master/media server since 6.5.
You can read up about device config on clustered master in the manuals:
6.5: NBU High Availability Guide: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH52835
7.0: NBU High Availability Guide http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH127045
7.1: NBU Clustered Master Server Admin Guide http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC3679
7.5: NBU Clustered Master Server Admin Guide http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC5184
Long story short: Ensure both nodes can see/use devices at OS level.
Run Device config wizard on node 1.
Failover to node 2. Run device config wizard.
