Device host	The Device host is the host that controls the robot.
Empty media access port prior to update	The Empty media access port prior to update operation is active only for the robots that support that function. To inject volumes in the robot's media access port into the robot before you begin the update, select Empty media access port prior to update. The volumes to be injected must be in the media access port before the operation begins. If you select Empty media access port prior to update and the media access port is empty, you are not prompted to place volumes in the media access port. Note: If you use NetBackup to eject volumes from the robot, remove the volumes from the media access port before you begin an inject operation. Otherwise, if the inject port and eject port are the same, the ejected volumes may be injected back into the robotic library.
