No, I am still in 6.5.3.1 and aware about 6.5.3 NDMP broken patch.
That part seems straightforward. Configure it as a normal (physical)
robot, and configure a media manager STU for it.
Let's say I created Robot and few drives on VTL and now I need to assing it
to some media server. Which Server should I assing the robot and drives to?
The MedServer which runs NDMP software or NDMP host? Logicaly it should be
NDMP host, but it does not have any initiators and it's local to VTL so there is
not way to assign.
If I assing it to media server for NDMP it looks like normal duplication as
this Media
Server will mount phl and vtl and dup tapes.
Thanks,

Ah, I see now. I was thinking local NDMP backups, not NDMP direct copy.
That's sort of a new feature. I don't actually know anyone using it.
Last time I looked at it, you had to have a special VTL that supported
it. Do you know that your unit supports it?

That part seems straightforward. Configure it as a normal (physical)
robot, and configure a media manager STU for it.

So set it up as an NDMP STU as well.

And set up the PTL drives in the NDMP STU. Appears you've done that as
well.
What happens when you Dup? You're not on 6.5.4 are you?
