MAP_ID entry in vm.conf
The following configuration entry applies to NetBackup servers:
MAP_ID = robot_num map_ID
Use this entry to configure the default media access port (MAP) to use to eject media from the Automated Cartridge System (ACS) robots. This default is selected in the NetBackup Administration Console, but you can also select other Media Access Ports for ejects.
If the MAP is not available or the vm.comf file does not contain this entry, NetBackup uses the default MAP selection process. By default, NetBackup uses the smallest MAP that can hold the number of media to be ejected.
If NetBackup selects multiple MAPs, NetBackup uses the nearest-MAP algorithm rather than the MAP that is specified in the MAP ID entry.
robot_num is the robot number. map_ID is in the format of an ACS CAP (cartridge access port ) ID and cannot contain any spaces.
The following example specifies the MAP ID for ACS robot number 700. The ACS CAP ID of 0,1,0 is used.
MAP_ID = 700 0,1,0
