Symantec NETBACKUP 7 - Manual (Page 71)

After you remove the load balancing server, restart the NetBackup Enterprise
Media Manager service. The NetBackup disk polling service may try to use the
removed server to query for disk status. Because the server is no longer a load
balancing server, it cannot query the disk storage. Consequently, NetBackup may
mark the disk volume as DOWN. When the EMM service restarts, it chooses a
different deduplication server to monitor the disk storage.
If the host failed and is unavailable, you can use the
tpconfig
device configuration
utility in menu mode to delete the server. However, you must run the tpconfig
utility on a UNIX or Linux NetBackup server.
For procedures, see the NetBackup Administrator’s Guide for UNIX and Linux,
Volume II.
To remove a media server from a deduplication node
1 For every storage unit that specifies the media server in Use one of the
following media servers, clear the check box that specifies the media server.
This step is not required if the storage unit is configured to use any available
media server.
2 In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Media and Device
Management > Credentials > Storage Server.
3 Select the deduplication storage server, then select Edit > Change.
