Netbackup Device Mappings

Use the bellow process to update/install the Netbackup Device mappings.

1. Download and extract the new mappings file package to a temporary folder.  This will create three files in the temporary location:

    * Readme.txt
    * external_types.txt
    * external_robotics.txt

2. Copy the external_types.txt file from the temporary location to C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\var\global\ on the Master Server or  EMM Server.

3. Copy the external_robotics.txt file from the temporary location to C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\var\global\ on the master server, EMM Server, each media server that controls a robot, and each media server from which robot inventories will be run.

4. Bring up a command window with Start -> Run -> Type "cmd". Enter the following commands in that command window.

5. Update the NetBackup Enterprise Media Manager database with the new device mappings version. This only needs to be done once and must be run from the Master Server or the EMM Server.  Use the command format below that corresponds to the installed version of NetBackup:

NetBackup 6.5/7.0/7.1:  C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Volmgr\bin\tpext -loadEMM

7. Restart Device Manager (ltid) on each Media Server.

8. Verify that the version that is now stored in the Enterprise Media Manager database is the same as what is in the file stored on the Media Server:

C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Volmgr\bin\tpext -get_dev_mappings_ver
