    It is not possible to promote media server to master server.

    To recover catalog excluding EMM database, follow the steps shown as "Recovering the catalog image file" in Troubleshooting Guide.

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH52829

    I recommend you not to recover catalog partially. If Catalog Backup is well planned(e.g automatic imcremental backup after backup session), recoverying entire catalog is simple and best option.

    BTW, as above I doubt EMM database had run on media server. Please review your configuration by bpgetconfig, registry checking nbemm process or so before you start reinstalling master server.

Many Thanks for you help, fortunately we did not have to recover Master Server as SAN reconstruction went well and everything was good.

 

I am sorry it's been long time I worked on Netbackup so I might have forgot something.

Yes EMM is residing on Master Server , I did not check it carefully.

I wasasked to help on it as I knew Netbackup but it's been long time I worked on it.

But still I remeber in some setup's I have seen EMM residing on Media Server but I may be wrong.

 

And again Thanks for your help.

 

Thanks,
