NetBackup™ Web UI Administrator's Guide

Delete a robot

Use the following procedure to delete a robot or robots when the media server is up and running.

Any drives that are configured as residing in a robot that you delete are changed to standalone drives.

Any media in the deleted robot is also moved to standalone. If the media is no longer usable or valid, delete it from the NetBackup configuration.

See Delete a volume.

To delete a robot

  1. Open the NetBackup web UI.
  2. On the left, click Storage > Tape storage. Click the Robots tab.
  3. Select the robot or robots you want to delete.
  4. Click Delete > Delete.

    Note:

    It may take a few minutes for the web UI to reflect that the robot is deleted. You are prompted to restart the Media Manager device daemon.
