A additional step is needed before it's possible to decommission a FT enabled media sever, even using nbdecommission utility.
1: Cause: nbemmcmd -deletehost return:
NBEMMCMD, Version:6.5.6
The function returned the following failure status:
generic EMM SQL error (193)
Command did not complete successfully.
2: Dumping the nbdb using /usr/openv/db/dbadm indicate references in the EMM database

There is some reference to this Media server as Fiber Transport Client/media server FAT
3: Soloution;
You will have to first delete the entry of this media server as a FT media server and then you will be able to delete this media server using nbemmcmd command. The nbftconfig command is used to work with FT media servers. The command is for some strange reason undocumented and not listed in the "Netbackup Shared Storage Guide".
- To list the SAN clients configured run the following command.
# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbftconfig -listclients
- To list FT / SAN media servers run the following command.
# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbftconfig -listservers
- To delete the entry for FT / SAN media server run the following command.
# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbftconfig -deleteserver <FT media server name>
Once the entry for media server is removed from FT media server list, follow the media server decommission process to remove the media server from NetBackup setup.
# nbdecommission -oldserver <media server name> -M <Master name>
# nbemmcmd -deletehost -machinename <machine_name> -machinetype media
Apply for Netbackup 6.5.x and 7.0/7.0.1
