You need Enterprise Server license on the master in order to add a media server.
The media server will also need Enterprise Server license if it will backup network clients. If the media server will only backup itself, you will need Enterprise Client license.

Discuss license replacement with your local Veritas reseller.

Yes. A media server can be managed from the master.

Thanks Marianne for the reply but i did not get " If the media server will only backup itself, you will need Enterprise Client license".

Can you explain.....

[Marianne · Accepted solution]

If you have a particular large client and you want it to backup directly to backup device and not across the network to a media server, you will install media server software using Enterprise Client license.
Present and configure backup devices.
Create a Storage Unit with 'on demand only' for this client server and select the STU in client's policy. We call this a SAN media server.

You can only use Enterprise Client license with Enterprise Server on the master.
