Veritas NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume II

Updating a drive configuration

You can change information for a drive (for example, you can add it to a robot).

To change information for a drive

  1. On the main menu, select Drive Configuration.
  2. On the Drive Configuration menu, choose Update.
  3. Enter the name of the drive you want to update.

    The current drive information is displayed, followed by prompts to change each field.

  4. Enter a new value or press Enter to retain the existing value.

    One of the prompts asks if you want to configure the drive in a robot. If you do, tpconfig adds the drive immediately or gives you the opportunity to choose from any existing robot of the appropriate type.

    When you have responded to all prompts, a revised Drive Information display appears, along with the following prompt:

    Are you sure you want to UPDATE drive name xxxxx? (y/n) n:
  5. Answer yes by pressing y.
