I am planning to move one media server and all its storage units and policies under one master server to another master server.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks

Simply decommission the media server from master1. This process is clearly documented in technotes.
Then edit your server list on the media server to change master1 to master2. If it's a Unix media server, this in bp.conf. If it's Windows, it's in the registry but a simple search in regedit will find it.
The simply add the media server to your master2 environment. Define your storage units again on master2. If you have images on the media server that you want to keep, import them on master2.

As far as the policies, I would create new ones. it may be possible to simply create a tarball on the original and extract it on the new master but ever since they replaced bpsched funny stuff happens to backups.
