You need to remove it from the Global Device Database (I am
assuming you are not on 6.0 yet). Go to Media and Device management, and
expand hosts. Click on the decommissioned media server (just click on stop
or cancel if it is trying to contact the media server). Go to the window
with the tape drives, highlight them, right click and then delete. After
that you should be able to right click on the media server name and click remove
device host. You may be able to just remove the device host directly
without removing the drives first, I just like to make sure it is clean. I
am also assuming you have moved any tapes owned by that media server to a new
host?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] remove devices from dead media server
ok.....on a roll
with stupid questions today.
I had a media server
in my lab, and once it was built up, and functionality tested, it just got
torn down and moved.
So I removed the
storage units, and policys and the media server references in the master server
preferences, but I forgot to remove the actual drives that were
attached/configured on the media server....so now the media server is gone and
the master still has references to the devices....anytime I try to access them,
the GUI just spins trying to contact the missing media server, and tpconfig on
the master doesn't show the devices......what's the quick and dirty way to get
rid of the devices from the master?
