Changing robot properties

Use the following procedure to change the configuration information for a robot.

To change robot properties

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Media and Device Management > Devices > Robots.
  2. In the Robots pane, select the robotic library you want to change.
  3. Click Edit > Change.
  4. In the Change Robot dialog box, change the properties as necessary.

    The properties that you can change depend on the robot type, the host type, and the robot control.

    See Robot configuration options.

  5. If the device changes are complete, select Yes on the Restart Device Manager dialog box or the Media and Device Management dialog box to restart the Device Manager or the device daemon.

    If you intend to make other changes, click No; you can restart the Device Manager or the device daemon after you make the final change.

    If you restart the Device Manager or the device daemon, any backups, archives, or restores that are in progress also may be stopped.
