Netbackup shared tape library configuration

Tape drives can be shared in NBU, not libraries.

Only one media server can be control host for a library. (inventory, mount, dismount, etc...). All media servers will communicate with robot control host for mount, dismount requests.
Robot control host will have robot configured as local, rest of media servers as 'controlled by remote server'.

So, first of all, decide on a robot control host for each of the robots. if they are in different locations, it can be different media servers for each of the robots, or, if in same data center, it can even be the master server for all the robots.

Next, use 'scan' command on robot control host to verify that robot and tape drives are visible. (On Solaris, you may have to rebuild sg driver.)

Run device config wizard and only select robot control host to config devices. 
This step will add TLD 0, 1, etc.

Next, run device config wizard again - this time selecting robot control host and media servers.

Useful documentation:

Hope this helps.

Thanks Marianne.

I have read the documentation.

Run device config wizard and only select robot control host to config devices. 
This step will add TLD 0, 1, etc.

• i have to select bckserverlon01 (robot control host) and then next .then after this all my libraries will come?
• if yes then i have to select all my robots and not drives and click next-next-next-next?

correct?

I suggest you to run the wizard first selecting only for the desire robot control host and then again selecting all the media servers, including the robot control host.

follow the steps of  Marianne's post and yes it is next,next,next

sir,

i have to select RCH,then robot 0 and then next-next-next-next.finnish

then ,run device configuration wizard again select another RCH nad select robot 2 this time.then withot selecting any robot .next next next

 then ,run device configuration wizard again select another RCH nad select robot 3this time.then withot selecting any robot .next next next

then ,run device configuration wizard again select another RCH nad select robot 4 this time.then withot selecting any robot .next next next.

after above is finished.I have to select now both RCH and media servers now and robot and drives now?

correct?

please update if anybody is free

If your need is to have a different robot control host for every robot, yes you must do it ones for every robot, as you did.

Now you have to run it ones more with all media servers selected.

if i want only 1 RCH for all robots.then?

Then do as per my post on Sunday:

Use 'scan' command on robot control host to verify that robot and tape drives are visible. (On Solaris, you may have to rebuild sg driver.)

Run device config wizard and only select robot control host to config devices. 
This step will add TLD 0, 1, etc. (i.e. all robots)

Next, run device config wizard again - this time selecting robot control host and media servers.
This step will add shared drives on rest of media servers and respective robot as 'controlled by remote server'.

Another useful TN:  http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH125956

after that i have to select all media servers and all robot control host and all drives in a single go and then do next-next-next

We have confirmed previously - YES.

Please see device config wizard TN. Link in my previous post.

Please also go through the manuals that I have posted on Sunday.
