Veritas NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume I

Media which have been moved into or within the robot... (existing media setting)

You can specify the volume group for the existing media that have been moved into or within a robot.

The volume group to assign to the existing media that you have inserted into the robot (or moved to a new location within the robot).

The Media which have been moved into or within the robot should be assigned to the volume group drop-down box contains the following selections:

AUTO GENERATE

NetBackup automatically generates a new volume group.

DEFAULT

If there is an existing group with a compatible residence for the volume, the volume is added to that group. If a suitable volume group does not exist, NetBackup generates a new volume group name.

The following other selections may be available depending on the setting of the Media type field of the New media section of the dialog box:

If the Media type field is DEFAULT

The Media which have been moved into or within the robot should be assigned to the volume group drop-down box includes the volume groups that are valid for the robot's default media type.

If the Media type field is other than DEFAULT

The Media which have been moved into or within the robot should be assigned to the volume group drop-down box includes the volume groups that are valid for the specified media type.

To specify a volume group other than DEFAULT, enter a volume group name or select one from the list.

If the robotic library contains multiple media types, Veritas recommends a DEFAULT setting. If you specify a volume group and volumes of different media types were moved into or within the robot, the new update fails. Volumes of different media types cannot have the same volume group.
