NetBackup Web UI Vault Administrator's Guide

Configuring robots in Vault

Use the Vault Robot dialog box to specify and configure the robots from which Vault ejects media. Vault robots contain the media that has images to be stored off-site. That media is ejected so it can be transferred to the vault. The images can be original images that are created during a backup job.

You can select any robots that are recognized by NetBackup and that have storage units associated with them. NetBackup assigns a number to each robot that it recognizes, and eligible robots are recognized by Vault.

To configure a robot in Vault

  1. Log into NetBackup Web UI
  2. On the left pane, select Storage > Vault management.
  3. Select Actions drop-down and then click Add vault robot.
  4. In the Add vault robot dialog box, select the Robot name from the drop-down. Robot control host is displayed.

    Note:

    Robot control host is the name of the host that controls the robot. This value is auto-populated based on the API response.
