About adding media type mapping entries

Applies to API robots only. Robot types are described in a different topic.

See NetBackup robot types.

The default media type mappings may not provide the wanted mappings. If not, add robot-specific media mappings to the vm.conf file on the host on which you run the NetBackup Administration Console.

For more information about the vm.conf file, see the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume II.
