About configuring robots and tapes drives in NetBackup
Before you configure the robots and tape drives in NetBackup, they must be attached to the computer and recognized by the operating system. The server platforms that NetBackup supports may require operating system configuration changes to allow device discovery.
Use the Configure drives and robots wizard to add, modify, update, and delete the following types of devices in NetBackup:
Robots, including those attached to NDMP hosts and ACS hosts.

Shared drives (for NetBackup Shared Storage Option configurations only.)
