About comparing a robot's contents with the volume configuration

Compare contents with volume configuration compares the contents of a robotic library with the contents of the database. Regardless of the result, the database is not changed.

Table: Compare contents description

Robot and media

Report contents

The robot can read barcodes

The report shows the differences between the robot and the database.

The robot cannot read barcodes

The report shows only whether a slot contains a volume.

If the media cave barcodes, this operation is useful for determining if volumes have been physically moved within a robot.

For API robots

The media ID and media type in the database are compared to the information that is received from the vendor's robotic library software.

If the results show that the database does not match the contents of the robotic library, perform one of the following actions:

  • Physically move the volume (Actions > Move).

  • Use the option Update volume configuration.

    See About updating the NetBackup volume configuration.

See Compare media in a robot with the volume configuration.
