CJ- I've seen some misbehaving during DR exercises, usually if the media servers that were in production are not brought up at DR. This was more with pre-6.0, and we've gotten around it by not restoring certain pieces or deleting them after restoring the databases (like policies, storage units, etc.).
We also used to be able to recover with only bringing back the pieces of the image DB that we needed (specific client directories), since bptm didn't really need the mediaDB on the media server to do the restore, and you could always use FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER to get around bringing back individual mediaDBs. Not sure about 6.0 since a lot more is dependent on EMM. Some of the hanging might be related to IRM trying to schedule backups and such, so that's why I'd say you might want to try to either get rid of the policies, or just wipe out the schedule windows, and bounce the services.

This will be our first year going through with Netbackup, so we are running through the steps here in our lab. We have gone through the catalog recovery as documented by Symantec, but I do have one question. On pg 545, it mentions restoring the Netbackup directories (excluding \Netbackup\db, \Netbackupdb, \Netbackup\var, Volmgr\database). Is this necessary for a DR exercise, or is it essential for the NBU stability? We have noticed alot of NBU console crashing, hanging, and other symptoms we dont see in our production.
