About robot inventory
Robot inventory is a logical operation that verifies the presence of media. (Robot inventory does not inventory the data on the media.)
After you physically add, remove, or move volumes in a robot, use a robot inventory to update the NetBackup volume configuration.
The following table describes the NetBackup Administration Console robot inventory options for the robotic libraries that contain barcode readers and contain barcoded media.
Table: Robot inventory options

Queries the robot for its contents and displays the media in the selected robotic library; does not check or change the EMM database.
