Injecting media by using the vltinject command

The vltinject command injects volumes into a robot and updates the Media Manager volume database. It requires as an option the name of a profile (if unique) or a robot number, vault, and profile name.

The following is the format of the vltinject command:

vltinject profile|robot/vault/profile

The following example command injects volumes that were vaulted by the Payroll profile and that were returned from the off-site vault:

vltinject Payroll

Note:

If you use the same profile name across vaults in your vault configuration, then you should specify the robot/vault/profile attributes.

The following example injects volumes that were vaulted by the Weekly profile in the Finance vault and that were returned from the off-site vault:

vltinject 8/Finance/Weekly

See the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide for more information about the vltinject command.

To inject media by using the vltinject command

  1. In a terminal window or command window, change to the directory in which the vltinject command resides, as follows:

    • UNIX

      /usr/openv/netbackup/bin
    • Windows

      install_path\NetBackup\bin
  2. Load the media to be injected into the robot's media access port.
  3. Run the command, using the appropriate options and parameters.
  4. Repeat until all media are injected.
