If you do not want this default mapping, you can add a backup_exec_media_type entry to
specify that for this robot, the Backup Exec DLT media type maps to the NetBackup DLT3
media type (
BE_DLT = 1 DLT3
).
backup_exec_media_type is the Backup Exec media type.
netbackup_robot_number is the NetBackup robot number. For standalone drives, the robot
number must be -1. For example,
BE_DLT = -1 DLT

page 251).
Allowable and default mappings are as follows:

If this entry is specified in
vm.conf
, you can map robots used in Backup Exec to
NetBackup robots. This entry is used with the Backup Exec tape reader feature and is
required when a robot is not serialized. This entry is read and interpreted on the host
where
bephyinv
or
beconv
is running.

spaces in this field. For example if the robot name is HP 1, this field would be
BE_CHANGER_NAME_HP1

The following are some examples of entries:
BE_CHANGER_NAME_HP4 = 1
