Robot control (robot configuration options)

The Robot control section of the prompt specifies the type of control for the robot. The options that you configure depend on the robot type and the media server type.

Table: Robot configuration properties

Property	Description
Robot is controlled locally by this device host	Specifies that the host to which the robot is attached controls the robot. You must configure other options (depending on the robot type and device host type).
Robot is handled by a remote host	Specifies that a host other than the device host controls the robot. You must configure other options (based on the selected robot type and device host platform).
Robot control is attached to an NDMP host	Specifies that an NDMP host controls the robot. You must configure other options (depending on the robot type and device host type).
ACSLS host	Specifies the name of the Sun StorageTek ACSLS host; the ACS library software resides on the ACSLS host. On some UNIX server platforms, this host can also be a media server. The ACS library software component can be any of the following: Automated Cartridge System Library Software (ACSLS) Examples are available in the NetBackup Device Configuration Guide. STK Library Station Storagenet 6000 Storage Domain Manager (SN6000). This STK hardware serves as a proxy to another ACS library software component (such as ACSLS). Note: If the device host that has drives under ACS robotic control is a Windows server, STK LibAttach software must also be installed. Obtain the appropriate LibAttach software from STK. For compatibility information, see the NetBackup Enterprise Server and Server - Hardware and Cloud Storage Compatibility List: https://support.cohesity.com/s/article/article-100040093
NDMP host name	Specifies the name of the NDMP host to which the robot is attached.
Robot control host	Specifies the host that controls the robot. The name of the host on which the robot information is defined for TLD robots.
Robot device	The following applies to a Windows device host only. Specifies the name of the robot device. Select Browse and then select a robot from the prompt list displaying the Devices. If the discovery operation fails to discover a robot, select Add manually. Enter either the Port, Bus, Target, and LUN numbers or the device name in the next prompt. If the browse operation fails for any other reason, you are prompted to specify the required information. Use the Windows management tools to find the Port, Bus, Target, and LUN numbers. If the browse operation does not find attached robots, you are prompted to specify the information.
Robotic device file	UNIX device host only. Specifies the device file that is used for SCSI connections. The device files are located in the /dev directory tree on the device host. To specify the robotic device file, select Browse and then select a robotic device file from the list. A list of device files is displayed. Select the appropriate file and select the Select button. If the browse operation fails to show all of the attached robots, click Add manually. Enter the path of the device file in the Robotic device file field and then select the Select button. If the browse operation does not find attached robots, you are prompted to specify the information. Information about how to add device files is available in the NetBackup Device Configuration Guide.
Robot device path	NDMP host only. Specifies the name of the robotic device that is attached to the NDMP host.
Port, Bus, Target, LUN	Windows hosts only. The Port, Bus, Target, and LUN are the SCSI coordinates for the robotic device. To specify the SCSI coordinates of the device, enter the Port, Bus, Target, and LUN.
