AUTO_PATH_CORRECTION entry in vm.conf
If this entry is specified in vm.conf, it specifies whether automatic device path remapping is enabled or disabled, as follows:
AUTO_PATH_CORRECTION = YES|NO
If the value is NO, the device configuration remains unchanged when the NetBackup Device Manager (ltid) is started. Therefore, the saved device configuration may be different than the actual configuration after devices are changed and the server is restarted.
If the value is YES, NetBackup tries to discover attached devices and then automatically update the device configuration for any device paths that are incorrect. This entry is read and interpreted on the host on which the NetBackup Device Manager (ltid) runs.
Device path remapping is enabled by default on Windows and Linux servers. It is disabled by default on all other servers.
