Device Mapping
Files Update
The
downloadable containers, Mappings_5.tar or Mappings_5.zip contain
the following two files:
Readme.txt
(this file)
device_mappings.txt
The
device_mappings.txt file is used by the NetBackup "Device Configuration
Wizard" to automatically configure new devices.
***************************
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER *************
***************************
PLEASE READ: *******************
The presence of
a device in the file "device_ mappings.txt" does not indicate, expressed
or implied, support of the device on the target NetBackup/Media Manager
platform.
Refer to the
Support Web page, <www.veritas.com> , compatibility lists for a
complete list of supported devices for NetBackup by platform and NetBackup
release.
These files are
for NetBackup 5 only and cannot be read by other NetBackup releases.
The
device_mappings.txt file contains a Revision number in the file header.
Before loading the downloaded bundle on your
system, verify
the new mappings file is replacing a mapping file with a lower Revision number.
*********************************************
Installation
Instructions:
1. Download and
extract the new mappings file
Create a
temporary directory or folder.
Obtain, via
ftp, the Mappings_5.[ zip | tar ] file to the temporary
directory/folder.
Unzip
Mappings_5.zip or /bin/tar xvf Mappings_5.tar.
This will
create two files in the temporary location:
Readme.txt
(this file)
device_mappings.txt
2. Verify
existing mappings file revision:
Windows:
Use Windows
Explorer to locate the mappings files in <Temp Folder> and
<Veritas Install Path>\NetBackup\share.
Use Notepad or
Wordpad to view the mappings files.
UNIX:
head -5
<temp_dir>/external_*_mappings.txt
head -5
/usr/openv/share/external_*_mappings.txt
Verify the new
mappings files have a higher revision number than the current mappings
file.
