Updating the device mapping file

Use the following procedure to download the current device mapping file and update the Enterprise Media Manager database with its information.

To update the current device mapping file

  1. Find the latest external types file for your devices on the Symantec support Web site. The following is the address for the site:

    http://entsupport.symantec.com

    The files that you download are named similarly to the following files (x represents the NetBackup release, such as 7):

    Mappings_x_nnnnnn.ZIP

  2. Download the file to the following location on the system that hosts the EMM server:

    • /usr/openv/var/global (UNIX)

    • install_path\netbackup\var\global (Windows)

  3. Uncompress the file.

    It contains a Readme.txt and a device_mappings.txt file.

  4. Update the EMM database with the new version of the device mapping file by using the following command (no command-line parameters are required):

    install_path\volmgr\bin\tpext

  5. Stop and restart the NetBackup Device Manager.
