Problem
Veritas NetBackup (tm) Server / Enterprise Server 5.x Device Mappings Package for Windows 1.53.4.99
Solution
This package
contains an update to the device_mappings.txt file. The
device_mappings.txt file is used by the NetBackup Media Server to
interact with tape drive, tape library, and virtual tape drive / library
devices. It is also used by the "Device Configuration Wizard" to automatically
configure new devices.
Added Entries
for:
- IBM TS7520 VTL
- Sun StorageTek VTL
Updated
Entries for:
- ADIC / Quantum Scalar i2000
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 NetBackup Hardware Compatibility List, found
below in the Related Documents section, for such support statements.
These files are
for NetBackup 5.1 or 5.0 only and will not work with 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.
