Configure media settings
This procedure describes how to configure the attributes for existing and new media.
To configure media settings
- Open the NetBackup web UI.
- On the left, click Storage > Tape storage.
- On the top right, click Actions > Inventory robots.
- Select the Device host.
- Select the robot.
- Click either Preview volume configuration changes or Update volume configuration.
- Click on Advanced options. Then click Media settings.
- 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.
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.
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 Use the following Media ID prefix field. Then, specify or choose a media ID prefix.
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 Save.
