Previewing volume configuration changes for a robot

Use the procedure in this topic to preview any volume configuration changes for a robot.

To preview the volume configuration changes for a robot

If necessary, insert new volumes into the robotic library.
Open the NetBackup web UI.
On the left, select Storage > Tape storage. Then select the Robots tab.
Select the robot that you want to inventory.
Select Inventory robot.
Select the device host and the robot that you want to inventory.
Select Preview volume configuration changes.
Note:
If you preview the configuration changes first and then update the NetBackup database, the update results may not match the results of the preview operation. Possible causes may be the changes that occur between the preview and the update. Changes can be to the state of the robot, to the NetBackup database, to the barcode rules, and so on.
To change the default settings and rules that NetBackup uses to name and assign attributes to new media, adjust the settings in Advanced options.
See About configuring media name and attribute rules.
To inject any media that is in the media access port before the preview operation, select Empty media access port prior to update.
Select Start to begin the inventory preview.
