Veritas NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume II

ACS_mediatype entry in vm.conf

The following configuration entry applies to NetBackup servers:

ACS_mediatype = Media_Manager_mediatype

If this entry is used in vm.conf, the ACS media type is mapped to the specified Media Manager media type. More than one ACS_mediatype entry can be specified.

This entry is read and interpreted on the host on which vmcheckxxx and vmupdate run during a robot inventory operation. Use this entry on every NetBackup media server that functions as an ACS robot control host.

A list of the valid ACS_mediatype entries is available.

See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I:
