About the NetBackup Device Manager
The NetBackup Device Manager (ltid) manages robot and tape processes for NetBackup. The Device Manager processes requests to mount and unmount tapes in robotically controlled devices through the robotic control processes. NetBackup starts ltid on the hosts that have storage devices configured. The Device Manager starts the Volume Manager (vmd), the automatic volume recognition process (avrd), and any robotic processes as needed.
