Applies to API robots only. Robot types are described in a different topic.
Use the Media Type Mappings tab of the NetBackup Advanced Robot Inventory Options dialog box to configure the attributes for existing and new media.
To configure media type mappings

On the Robot Inventory panel of the Volume Configuration Wizard, click Advanced Options.
- In the Advanced Robot Inventory Options dialog box, click the Media Type Mappings tab.
The mappings that appear are only for the robot type that was selected for inventory. The default mappings and any mappings you added or changed appear.
- Select the row that contains the robot-vendor media type mapping that you want to change and click Change Mapping.
- In the Change Media Mapping dialog box, select a media type from the list of allowed selections.
- Click OK.
