Update the NetBackup volume configuration with a robot's contents

Use the procedure in this topic to update the EMM database with the contents of a robot.

See About updating the NetBackup volume configuration.

See Robot inventory options.

To update the volume configuration with a robot's contents

  1. If necessary, add new volumes into the robotic library.
  2. Open the web UI.
  3. On the left, select Storage > Tape storage. Select the Robots tab.
  4. Select the robot that you want to inventory.
  5. Select Actions > Inventory robot.
  6. Select Update volume configuration.

    Note:

    If you preview the configuration changes first and then update the EMM 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 EMM database, to the barcode rules, and so on.

  7. To change the default settings and rules that NetBackup uses to name and assign attributes to new media, select Advanced options.
  8. To inject any media that is in the media access port before the update operation, click Empty media access port prior to update.
  9. Select the Start button to begin the inventory update.
