Adding a robot to NetBackup manually
When you add a robot manually, you must specify how the robot is controlled.
See About robot control.
After you add a robot, you should add the robot's drives.
Note:
It is recommended that you use the Device Configuration Wizard to add and update tape storage devices.
To add a robot using the Actions menu
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Media and Device Management > Devices.
- On the Actions menu, select New > Robot.
- Specify the properties for the robot.
The properties you can configure depend on the robot type, the host type, and the robot control.
- Click OK.
The Stop/Restart Media Manager Device Daemon dialog box displays.
- If you intend to make other changes, click Cancel. You can restart the Device Manager or the device daemon after you make the final change.
If the device changes are complete, click OK to restart the device daemon.
If you restart the device daemon, any backups, archives, or restores that are in progress may also be stopped.
