About media type mapping rules
Applies to API robots only. Robot types are described in a different topic.
For API robots, NetBackup contains default mappings from a vendor's media types to NetBackup media types. API robots are ACS, TLH, or TLM robot types.
You can change the default mappings. Changes apply only to the current volume configuration update.
You also can add media type mappings.
See About adding media type mapping entries.
See Default and allowable media types.
Note:
You can write a barcode rule that contains the media types that are incompatible with vendor media types. However, the robot inventory update may assign NetBackup media types that are inconsistent with the vendor media types. Avoid this problem by grouping barcode rules by media type.
