The Media Manager Configuration File (vm.conf)
320 NetBackup Media Manager System Administrator’s Guide for Windows
The Media Manager Configuration File (vm.conf)
The install_path
\volmgr\vm.conf
file contains configuration entries for media and
device management. This file is usually created by NetBackup, but if it does not exist you
need to create it to add entries.
Entries in this configuration file are read and interpreted on the host where the NetBackup
component (command, daemon, process, or utility) that is using a specific entry is
running. This host may be a NetBackup administration client or a server where
administration operations are requested.
The entries that this file can contain are as follows. See “Example vm.conf File” on
page 338 for an example configuration file.
ACS Media Mapping
ACS_ mediatype = Media_Manager_mediatype
This configuration entry applies only to NetBackup Enterprise Server

mapped to Media Manager media types. This entry is read and interpreted on the host
