About robot control
When you add a robot to NetBackup manually, you must configure how the robot is controlled. The New Robot dialog box includes a section named Robot control, in which you configure the control options.
The following table lists the information that is required to configure the three robot control types (local, NDMP, and remote). The information that is required depends on the robot type and the media server type.
