Adding a robot to NetBackup manually
When you add a robot manually, you must specify how the robot is controlled.
See About robot control.
After you add a robot, you should add the robot's drives.
Note:
It is recommended that you use the Device Configuration Wizard to add and update tape storage devices.
To add a robot using the Actions menu
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Media and Device Management > Devices.
- On the Actions menu, select New > Robot.
- In the New Robot dialog box, specify the properties for the robot.
The properties you can configure depend on the robot type, the host type, and the robot control.
- After you specify properties, click OK.
After you click OK, the Stop/Restart Media Manager Device Daemon dialog box appears.
- If you intend to make other changes, click Cancel in the Stop/Restart Media Manager Device Daemon dialog box. You can restart the Device Manager or the device daemon after you make the final change.
If the device changes are complete, restart the device daemon by clickingOK in the Stop/Restart Media Manager Device Daemon dialog box.
If you restart the device daemon, any backups, archives, or restores that are in progress also may be stopped.
