Media ID Prefix (Non-robotic)

This property appears for master and media servers only.

The Media ID Prefix (Non-robotic) property specifies the media ID prefix to use in media IDs when unlabeled media is found in nonrobotic drives. The prefix must be one to three alpha-numeric characters. NetBackup appends remaining numeric characters. By default, NetBackup uses A and assigns media IDs such as A00000, A00001, and so on.

For example, if FEB is specified, NetBackup appends the remaining numeric characters so the assigned media IDs become FEB000, FEB001, and so on (note that this does not work with the Configure Volumes wizard).

The Media ID Prefix setting corresponds to MEDIA_ID_PREFIX in the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file.
