Before Adding a Media Manager Storage Unit

Before adding a Media Manager storage unit, set up Media Manager to recognize the devices that will be in the storage units. (For device configuration information, see the Media Manager System Administrator's Guide.)

As you set up the devices, record the following information from the Media Manager configuration:

Type of Tape Device Record the Following Information

Robots

  • The names of the NetBackup servers where the drives attach and the number of drives that attach to each server (Applies only to NetBackup Enterprise Server)
  • Robot type
  • Robot number in Media Manager
  • Media density for the drives in each robot

Standalone tape drives

  • Media density of each drive
  • How many drives of each media density are on each NetBackup server

For step-by-step instructions on how to specify this information to NetBackup, see Creating a New Storage Unit.
