Configuring media settings
Use the Media Settings tab of the NetBackup Advanced Robot Inventory Options dialog box to configure the attributes for existing and new media.
To configure media settings
- Open the Advanced Robot Inventory Options dialog box, as follows:
From the Robot Inventory dialog box
In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Media and Device Management > Media > Robots in the left pane.
Select the robot that you want to inventory.
On the Actions menu, select Inventory Robot.
Click either Preview volume configuration changes or Update volume configuration.
Click Advanced Options.
From the Volume Configuration Wizard
In the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, expand Media and Device Management > Devices.
From the list of wizards in the right pane, click Configure Volumes and follow the wizard instructions.
On the Robot Inventory panel of the Volume Configuration Wizard, click Advanced Options.
- In the Advanced Robot Inventory Options dialog box, click the Media Settings tab.
- Configure the settings, as follows:
a.
In the Media which have been removed from the robot should be assigned to the volume group list, select a volume group for the media that are removed from the robot.
See Media which have been removed from the robot... (existing media setting).
b.
In the Media which have been moved into or within the robot should be assigned to the volume group list, select a volume group for the media that are in or are added to the robot.
See Media which have been moved into or within the robot... (existing media setting).
c.
If the robotic library supports barcodes and the volume has readable barcodes, NetBackup creates media IDs automatically from the barcodes. You do not need to configure a prefix.
However, if the media in the robotic library has unreadable barcodes or if the robot does not support barcodes, NetBackup assigns a default media ID prefix.
To use a media ID prefix other than the DEFAULT, click Browse in the Use the following Media ID prefix field. Then, specify or choose a media ID prefix in the Media ID Prefix dialog box.
d.
To use your barcode rules to assign attributes to new volumes, select Use barcode rules.
e.
To override your barcode rules for the new media in the robotic library, select a Media type from the list.
f.
To override the default volume pool for the new media in the robotic library, select a Volume pool from the list.
- Click OK.
